Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Pioneer walked away with it. While the 0-0 score might suggest a draw, it was the Pioneer Mustangs who were credited with the victory on Saturday. The Pioneer Mustangs got it done in the shootout by posting five goals to the Palma Chieftains's four. The win was all the more spectacular given the Mustangs' disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 430th, while the Chieftains are ranked 203rd).
Pioneer has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-10 record this season. This is the second loss in a row for Palma and nudges their season record down to 13-5.
Coming up, Pioneer will square off against Greenfield at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Greenfield's last three games have been decided by no more than a goal, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. Palma does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
