The San Clemente Tritons will venture away from home to face off against the Mira Costa Mustangs at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.
San Clemente is likely headed into the matchup with a focus on the second half, which is when things went downhill against San Marcos two weeks ago. San Clemente fell just short of San Marcos by a score of 3-2. While losing is never fun, the Tritons can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 256th, while the Knights are ranked 17th).
Gigi Nacelli and Taylor Hernandez scored both of San Clemente's goals, bringing their combined season tally to nine goals.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mira Costa). They were the clear victor by a 4-1 margin over Citrus Valley last Saturday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Mustangs needed considering they were shutout in their previous game.
San Clemente's loss dropped their record down to 4-4. As for Mira Costa, they now have a winning record of 3-2-4.
