The Pierre Governor soccer teams will head to Harrisburg tonight for an ESD contest as the second half of the season begins. The girls game is a top three matchup in the state.
The Governor boys will get the first game of the night against the 1-5-2 Tigers. Pierre, at 4-2-1, has nearly been able to score two goals per game comparatively to Harrisburg who has just four goals this season and have only scored once in its last six games. The Tigers are fighting for a playoff spot and Sean Blanchette, head coach of the Pierre Governors says they can’t let the record fool them…
Blanchette says there are two keys to a victory tonight…
The Governor girls are in a top three matchup tonight against a Harrisburg team who has not lost yet this season. The Tigers are 8-0, and Stevens is the only other team undefeated which is also the Governors only loss of the year. It’s the best offense against the best defense. The Governors are averaging almost four goals a game while the Tigers have allowed just two goals in eight games. Harrisburg is also averaging nearly three goals a game. It’s a potential late round playoff matchup under the lights in Harrisburg.
Kickoff of the boys game will be at 5:00 with the girls game at 7:00 at Harrisburg High School.
