Last Tuesday, Pittsburg was able to grind out a solid victory over Deer Valley, taking the game 3-1. Given the Pirates' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 221st, while the Wolverines are ranked 907th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Pittsburg hit Deer Valley with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from EDDY SARMIENTO, JADON JONES, and JHONATHAN DAVILA.

Meanwhile, Antioch came up short against Heritage on Tuesday and fell 5-3.

Pittsburg pushed their record up to 10-2 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 14 goals over those five games. As for Antioch, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-10.

Pittsburg beat Antioch by a goal in their previous meeting back in January, winning 1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Pittsburg since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
