The Moberly Spartans will venture away from home to square off against the Marshall Owls at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Moberly had to skate by with only a one-goal margin when they last took the pitch, which might have inspired the five-goal drubbing they dealt Fulton on Thursday. The Spartans' defense stepped up to hand the Hornets a 5-0 shutout. Jacey Engel had the honor of scoring the game-winner for Moberly.
Meanwhile, Marshall hadn't done well against Hannibal recently (they were 1-7 in their previous eight matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Thursday. The Owls were the clear victors by a 6-1 margin over the Pirates. The result was nothing new for Marshall, who have now won ten matchups by four goals or more so far this season.
Marshall's win was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 16-4. The home victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 37 goals over those seven contests. As for Moberly, their win bumped their record up to 12-8.
Moberly might still be hurting after the 4-0 defeat they got from Marshall in their previous matchup back in April. Can the Spartans avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
