VIU Mariners @ Douglas Royals – Saturday October 1, 1:00pm – Cunnings Field | WATCH HERE
Just three points separates these two teams in the PACWEST standings as the first place Mariners visit the Royals for the second time this season.
The Mariners blew out the Royals in their first meeting with a 4-0 shutout just two weeks ago. Melanie Osborne earned the clean sheet making three saves. Shea Battie scored the first two goals of the game on route to the victory.
This is the fifth straight road game for the Mariners who have won three of them and have outscored their opposition 9-2 along the way. They are coming off their first loss of the season and will look to get back in the win column on Saturday.
The Royals open a weekend home stand after they blanked the Langara Falcons last Sunday 1-0. Anesha Biln earned the shutout with three saves and Haylee Rogers scored the lone goal. They will become very familiar with the Mariners facing them three times in the next four games.
