The Gaffney Indians will challenge the Eastside Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Gaffney's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for nine straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Thursday just wasn't the day for Gaffney's offense. They came up short against Wade Hampton on Thursday, falling 5-0. While losing is never fun, Gaffney can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' South Carolina soccer rankings (they are ranked 130th, while Wade Hampton are ranked 26th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Eastside). They were the clear victors by a 9-1 margin over Boiling Springs on Monday. It was an even better day for Payton Nutzman as she scored four goals for her team.
Eastside has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 37 goals over those seven matchups. Gaffney's defeat dropped their record down to 3-9.
Gaffney might still be hurting after the 8-0 loss they got from Eastside in their previous matchup back in March. Will Gaffney have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more soccer content.
