Tonight the Greenville Road Warriors continue their three-game series at Germain Arena against the Florida Everblades. The Road Warriors will try to build on last night’s 6-3 win that snapped a four-game road losing streak.
The Road Warriors (24-16-2, 50 pts.) visit Florida (21-18-3, 45 pts.) today for the 10th of 11 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 5-3-1 this season against the Everblades and 15-5-4 overall in their history against Florida. Last night’s victory was the Road Warriors’ third straight and a win tonight would match their longest winning streak of the season at four. They have reached that mark twice earlier this season; October 22 to November 3 and November 10 to November 18. Florida, meanwhile, is trying to put the brakes on a four-game losing streak on which all four losses have come against South Division teams; one to Greenville, one to Gwinnett, and two to South Carolina.
