The Lady Eagles enter the match in fifth place with 4 points (1-2-1). Lady Eagles General Manager commented, "Tampa has a strong team that really plays well together. The match last week in Tampa was very exciting and challenging right to the last whistle and we expect that this weekend's match will be more of the same. As a team, Tampa has really strong goalkeeping, a solid defense and a number of very exciting attacking players, all of which makes them a formidable opponent. We are looking forward to playing a home match for the first time in almost a month, since the home opener against Hampton Roads. It has been a long month of playing on the road, and the team is very excited about playing at home in front of our great fans."
