Soccer Preview: Malibu vs. Channel Islands
Malibu is 0-5 against Channel Islands since December of 2015 but things could change on Friday. The Malibu Sharks will head out to challenge the Channel Islands Raiders at 6:00 p.m.
Malibu is headed in fresh off scoring the most goals they have all season. Everything went their way against St. Bonaventure on Tuesday as Malibu made off with a 6-2 win. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Channel Islands was forced to settle for a draw. They and Oxnard finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw on Thursday.
Malibu has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 4-1-2 record this season. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 15 goals over those five matchups. Channel Islands' draw gives them a new season record of 0-2-1.
Malibu might still be hurting after the 3-0 defeat they got from Channel Islands in their previous meeting back in January. Can Malibu avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
