On Valentine’s Day it will be anything but a love-fest at the BI-LO Center with the Road Warriors hosting the Gwinnett Gladiators. The Gladiators come to town for Greenville’s fourth of six straight home games.
The Road Warriors (29-18-3, 61 pts.) host Gwinnett (27-12-11, 64 pts.) today for the 12th of 17 meetings this season between the clubs. Fans can follow the action by watching live on America One or listening at Greenvilleroadwarriors.com. The Road Warriors are 6-4-1 this season against the Gladiators and 16-11-1 overall in their history against Gwinnett.

Four of those seven victories have come against Gwinnett which has the fewest road wins (8) out of any team in the South Division. The Gladiators are embarking on a run of seven straight games on the road.
