Why this one matters

This is an early-season nonleague test for both programs as they open their 2025-26 campaigns. Neither team has logged a game yet (both 0-0), so expect coaches to be searching for rotations and setting the tone for the season. There is no recent meeting listed between the programs, which adds a bit of intrigue for coaches and local fans.
