Saint Francis has gone 9-1 against Valley Christian recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Saturday. The Saint Francis Lancers will welcome the Valley Christian Warriors at 11:00 a.m. The two teams have allowed few goals on average, (Saint Francis: 0.3, Valley Christian: 0.3) so any goals scored will be well earned.

Saint Francis is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of California's top teams: Archbishop Mitty, who was ranked 11th at the time (Saint Francis was ranked sixth). Saint Francis fell just short of Archbishop Mitty by a score of 1-0 on Thursday. The Lancers were red-hot offensively headed into the match (they scored no less than four goals in the three games prior) but the Monarchs' defense proved too tough.

Meanwhile, neither Valley Christian nor Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory could gain the upper hand on Thursday so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

Having lost for the first time this season, Saint Francis fell to 9-1-1. Valley Christian's draw makes their record 8-1-4 this season.

Saint Francis was able to grind out a solid victory over Valley Christian in their previous meeting back in January of 2024, winning 2-0. Does Saint Francis have another victory up their sleeve, or will Valley Christian turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
