The Taft Toreadors will wrap up 2025 with a road trip to face off against the Crespi Celts at 10:30 a.m. on Monday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Taft's tournament run continued when they took on Burroughs on Saturday. The Toreadors and the Bears finished up their contest with a 1-1 draw.
Meanwhile, Crespi's game on Saturday was all tied up 0-0 at the half, but luckily for them it didn't stay that way. They won by a goal and slipped past Canoga Park 1-0. The victory was all the more spectacular given Crespi's disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 353rd, while Canoga Park are ranked 167th).
The win made it two in a row for Crespi and bumps their season record up to 6-2. The victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up zero goals over those two matches. Taft's draw makes their record 5-3-5 this season.
Taft couldn't quite get it done against Crespi when the teams last played back in December of 2023 as they fell 4-2. Can the Toreadors avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
