The Gateway Gators will take on the Credo Gryphon at 2:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gateway is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of California's top teams: The Bay School, who was ranked 21st at the time (Gateway was ranked 23rd). The Gators and the Breakers finished up their match with a 2-2 draw two weeks ago. Gateway's defeat signaled the end of their three-game winning streak.
Meanwhile, it can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Credo had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They beat the Panthers by a goal, winning 5-4. The victory was nothing new for Credo as they're now sitting on five straight.
Credo's win bumped their record up to 15-5-4. Gateway's draw gives them a new season record of 8-6-5.
