STATESBORO, Ga. – South Georgia Tormenta FC seeks to continue its undefeated streak on the road as it visits Forward Madison FC.

Tormenta FC takes on Forward Madison this Saturday, July 16, at Breese Stevens Field, at 8 p.m. ET.
In a battle between third and fourth place, the winner of the match would distance themselves from teams below them and apply pressure on first and second place.
