The Greenville Road Warriors continue their six-game road trip tonight with a visit to US Bank Arena to take on the Cincinnati Cyclones. The Road Warriors are trying to build on their own two-game win streak and also snap Cincinnati’s five-game win streak.
The Road Warriors (18-10-2) visit Cincinnati (13-9-3) tonight for the third of five scheduled meetings between the clubs. Fans can follow the action by watching live on America One or listening at greenvilleroadwarriors.com. The Road Warriors are 1-1-0 this season against the Cyclones and 3-2-1 in their history against Cincinnati. All three of the games they have played at US Bank Arena in the last two seasons have been decided by one goal and two of them have gone into overtime. At 10-1-2 the Cyclones have the best home record in the Eastern Conference but the Road Warriors are one of three teams to defeat Cincinnati at home this season.
