The Gilford Golden Eagles will head out to face off against the Fall Mountain Wildcats at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Gilford is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering St. Thomas Aquinas just ended the team's five-match winning streak on Tuesday. They fell 2-0 to the Saints. While losing is never fun, Gilford can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' New Hampshire soccer rankings (they are ranked 35th, while St. Thomas Aquinas are ranked third).
Meanwhile, Fall Mountain hasn't lost a match since September 18th, a trend which continued in their latest game on Tuesday. Neither they nor Manchester West could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw.
Gilford's defeat dropped their record down to 8-6-2. Fall Mountain's draw makes their record 8-3-4 this season.
Gilford skirted past Fall Mountain 1-0 when the teams last played back in October of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Golden Eagles since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
