Scouting the Indians: Catawba comes to Newberry with a 2-8 record, including 2-4 in South Atlantic Conference play. In their most recent outing in Greeneville, Tennessee, last Saturday against Tusculum, the Indians took home a 10-9 victory. Leading 5-3 at the half, Catawba allowed four 3rd quarter goals to the hosts to fall behind 7-6, but were able to put together a comeback for the win. Jackson Braswell's hat trick led the way for the Indians in that affair, followed by Garrett Simi's two goals; five others scored one goal each. Catawba ranks at or near the bottom of every offensive statistic and has the third-worst save percentage in the conference, presenting a favorable matchup for Newberry.

Scouting the Wolves: Newberry enters Senior Day winners of its last two games, the most recent win coming last Saturday against Mars Hill, 15-8. The Wolves sit at 7-4 overall and 3-3 in SAC play with three games left. Among the honorees for Senior Day: Caleb Forga (Belleville, MI); Garet McMahon (Collingwood, Ontario, Canada); Scott Reed (Ontario, Canada); Jay Strickland (Buford, GA.); Brock Strong (Clarington, Ontario, Canada); and Jackson Von Eschen (Sayville, N.Y.). Against the Lions, the Wolves were led by Baker Westmoreland's (Charlotte, N.C.) four goals. Briley Maxwell (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) added three goals of his own, while Reed, James Osorio (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) and Lucas Ferreira (Ontario, Canada) all had two. The Wolves will look to continue their impressive output on the man-up advantage, as their 32 goals – and 61.5% conversion rate – both top Division II.
