The Pacifica Mariners will head out to challenge the El Modena Vanguards at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Pacifica is probably headed into the game with a chip on their shoulder considering Villa Park just ended the team's six-game winning streak on Wednesday. They fell 3-1 to the Spartans. While losing is never fun, the Mariners can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 214th, while the Spartans are ranked 69th).
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, El Modena was forced to settle for a draw. Neither they nor La Habra could gain the upper hand on Wednesday so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
El Modena's goal came courtesy of Alex Martinez, which was the first he's scored this season.
Pacifica's loss ended a four-game streak of away wins and brought them to 8-2-3. El Modena's draw makes their record 12-5-1 this season.
