GREENVILLE, SC – Tonight the Greenville Road Warriors play the middle game of a weekend three-in-three as they host the Florida Everblades. Faceoff is set for 7:05 p.m. at the BI-LO Center.
The Road Warriors (14-8-0) host Florida (12-13-2) tonight for the seventh of 11 scheduled meetings between the clubs. Fans can follow the action by watching live on America One or listening at www.greenvilleroadwarriors.com. Greenville will try to build off of last night’s 3-0 win over Florida and continue to close the gap on South Carolina and Gwinnett in the South Division standings. Florida, meanwhile, is trying to turn around its fortunes as last night’s loss extended its losing streak to three. The Everblades have lost four of their last five games overall.
Tonight the Road Warriors are having a benefit for the South Carolina Foothills Search and Rescue which has been helping the Road Warriors in their recent search for Rowdy the Road Hog.
