A one-point thriller the last time these programs met adds intrigue. Their most recent meeting on Jan. 9, 2020, ended with Fortuna edging Eureka, 30-29 — proof that this matchup can be a grind-it-out, physical battle. Both teams will be looking to establish early-season rhythm; Fortuna heads to Eureka hungry to replicate that narrow victory while the Loggers will want to defend home court.
