Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but unfortunately for the Crean Lutheran Saints, they weren't the ones who walked away with it. They fell just short of the Breakers by a score of 1-0. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Crean Lutheran of the 2-1 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in March of 2021.
Crean Lutheran's defeat ended a four-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 12-5-3. As for Laguna Beach, the win (which was their fourth in a row) raised their record to 8-12-1.
Crean Lutheran does not have any more games scheduled as of now. Laguna Beach is on the road again on Friday and plays Foothill Tech on February 9th. Foothill Tech will roll in looking for their fourth straight victory, something Laguna Beach surely won't give up without a fight.
