Is it still a Crosstown Derby if it is no longer in the same town? Xavier and UC will hit the pitch today for the soccer variation on Cincinnati's most heated rivalry, but they’ll be doing it in Kentucky. Thanks to the same weather issues that rendered the Xavier soccer complex unplayable for what should have been a home game against Dartmouth, Xavier will now “host” UC across the river at NKU.
It’s not all bad news though, because the Norse are allowing both free tickets and free parking (info below) for the game. Given the drive itself is less than 20 minutes, that’s not a bad deal for a game that gives the Musketeers a good chance to grab their second win of the year.
