The Linfield Christian Lions will wrap up 2024 with a road trip to face off against the Yucaipa Thunderbirds at 12:00 p.m. on Friday.
Linfield Christian is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Murrieta Mesa just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Thursday. Neither they nor the Rams could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time the Lions have been dealt a draw since December 4th.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Yucaipa). They put the hurt on Western Christian with a sharp 6-0 victory on Thursday. The win was all the more spectacular given the Thunderbirds' disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 541st, while the Fighting Lancers are ranked 202nd).
The victory made it two in a row for Yucaipa and bumps their season record up to 2-2-4. Linfield Christian's draw gives them a new season record of 5-5-3.
