Soccer Game Preview: Acalanes vs. Maria Carrillo

The Acalanes Dons will challenge the Maria Carrillo Pumas at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Acalanes is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Tuesday. They never let Dougherty Valley get on the board and left with a 3-0 victory. The win continues a trend for Acalanes in their matchups with Dougherty Valley: they've now won three in a row.

Caroline Tumilty and Grace Eppinger scored all three of Acalanes' goals, which were season-firsts for both players.

Meanwhile, Maria Carrillo kicked off their season two weeks ago but they'll have to wait until their next contest for a more definitive result. Neither they nor Marin Catholic could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.

Acalanes came out on top in a nail-biter against Maria Carrillo in their previous matchup back in December of 2024, sneaking past 2-1. Do the Dons have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Pumas turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
