Ripon's defeat was their third straight on the road, which dropped their overall record down to 3-6. Those losses could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 7.0 points per game. As for Hughson, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-3.
Ripon couldn't quite finish off Hughson when the teams last played back in October of 2022 and fell 21-19. Will Ripon have more luck at home instead of on the road?
