Match Preview:
The Eagles return to their home field this Saturday morning after a challenging stretch of three road matches. Since their commanding 4-0 victory over Carolina Christian on September 2, the Eagles have traveled to Georgia and Mississippi to face strong NCAA DIII and NAIA opponents, returning with two losses and a draw. They'll look to turn things around against the Ave Maria Gyrenes this weekend.
The Gyrenes (a nickname for U.S. Marines) enter the match with a 3-2-2 record, highlighted by several impressive wins. Most recently, Ave Maria wrapped up a three-game trip to Texas with a 4-1 victory over Dallas Christian College. That result mirrors a common opponent for the Eagles, who defeated the Crusaders 3-0 earlier this season.
With both teams showing flashes of dominance, Saturday's contest promises to be a competitive matchup and a strong test for the Eagles as they look to build momentum through the rest of September. Kickoff is set for 10 a.m. at Eagle Field, come out and cheer on the Eagles!
