Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC (4-4-4, 10th) will host Forward Madison FC (4-4-5, 9th) for the first time this season in their new home stadium. Northern Colorado remains undefeated at home (1-0-2); meanwhile, Madison has gone 3-1-1 in their last five games, their best stretch of the season. A win for either team would spring them over the congested middle of the table into third place.
NCO- Brecc Evans: Evans scored the second goal in Northern Colorado’s 2-1 win over Chattanooga inside the 6-yard box off of a cross from Arthur Rogers. He also ended the game with two tackles and 3 clearances.
MAD- Jeremiah Streng: Streng chipped the keeper in the 37th minute to put Madison on the board last Sunday against Charlotte Independence. He finished the game with three shots and five aerial and ground duels won.
