Meanwhile, it may have taken extra minutes to finish the job, but Downey ultimately got the result they hoped for on Wednesday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Golden Valley 2-1. Given the Knights' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 132nd, while the Cougars are ranked 459th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Downey is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That somehow still isn't as good as their 14-4 record this season. Rocklin's victory bumped their record up to 11-6.
