The Kodiak Bears will venture away from home to face off against the Grace Christian Grizzlies at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Kodiak is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Alaska's top teams: Houston, who was ranked 23rd at the time (Kodiak was ranked 21st). The two teams finished up on equal footing with a 2-2 draw on Saturday. The result (or lack thereof) marked Kodiak's first draw of the season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Grace Christian). They were the clear victors by an 8-1 margin over Houston on Thursday. Grace Christian might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three matchups by six goals or more this season.
Their offense was hitting Houston from everywhere, as six different players booted in a goal. Josiah Brown led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by himself.
The victory made it two in a row for Grace Christian and bumps their season record up to 3-6. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 14 goals over those two matches. With that draw, Kodiak's record moves to 2-4-1.
Kodiak might still be hurting after the 8-1 loss they got from Grace Christian in their previous matchup back in May of 2025. That contest was all but decided by halftime, at which point the Bears were down 4-0.
