The Bishop's Knights will take on the Southwest EC Eagles in a tournament on Tuesday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Bishop's had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 victory over High Tech CV on Monday.
Meanwhile, Southwest EC had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 2.5 goals) and they went ahead and made it three on Saturday. They walked away with a 2-0 win over the Bulldogs. Give the Eagles' defense some credit: that's the team's third straight shutout.
ALEJANDRO JR ABRIL and JOSHUA IBARRA NIEBLA scored both of Southwest EC's goals, which were season-firsts for both players.
Everything went Bishop's way against Southwest EC in their previous matchup back in February of 2015, as Bishop's made off with a 3-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Bishop's since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
