After a short break, it's finally time for some more action. The Concord Bears will take on the Mt. Eden Monarchs at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Concord is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 3.5 goals per game this season.
Concord is looking to tack another W on to their season record, something they couldn't quite do against Freedom two weeks ago. Both finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw.
Concord's goal came courtesy of Abram Martinez, who's now up to three this season.
Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Mt. Eden's offense. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of Berkeley two weeks ago. While losing is never fun, the Monarchs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 290th, while the Yellowjackets are ranked 118th).
Mt. Eden's loss was their first in the league, dropping their league record down to 1-1-1 and their overall record down to 6-3-2. Concord's draw gives them a new season record of 3-1-1.
Concord beat Mt. Eden by a goal in their previous meeting back in January of 2024, winning 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Concord since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
