The Steamboat Springs Sailors will venture away from home to take on the Basalt Longhorns at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Steamboat Springs had to skate by with only a one-goal margin when they last took the pitch, which might have inspired the four-goal drubbing they dealt Fruita Monument on Saturday. The Sailors never let the Wildcats get on the board and left with a 4-0 victory. Considering Steamboat Springs' offense had been struggling lately, the high-scoring outing was a much-needed turnaround.
They hit Fruita Monument with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Marshall Moss (2), Treyden Klingemann, and Cesar Carrillo.
Meanwhile, for the first time since back in September, Basalt was forced to settle for a draw on Tuesday. Neither they nor Aspen could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
Steamboat Springs is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-3-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up one goal over those four contests. Basalt's draw gives them a new season record of 4-6-2.
Steamboat Springs took their victory against Basalt in their previous meeting back in October of 2024 by a conclusive 5-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Sailors since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
