The Teams: Wilmington and Anderson. Wilmington (3-9, 0-5) is on a losing streak entering Wednesdays match, for the Quakers to get back on track they will need to get their offense clicking again to have a chance against Anderson. The Ravens (5-3, 1-0) alternated wins and losses for the initial portion of the season but have since won three straight.
