Meanwhile, Santa Fe Prep had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.5 goals) and they went ahead and made it three on Thursday. Everything went their way against Tierra Encantada as they made off with a 5-0 victory. The result was nothing new for Santa Fe Prep, who have now won nine matches by three goals or more so far this season.
