The Rio Mesa Spartans will head out on the road to take on the Calabasas Coyotes at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Rio Mesa proved they can win big on Monday (they won by four) and on Tuesday they proved they can win the close ones too. Their defense stepped up to hand Kennedy a 1-0 shutout. Rio Mesa wouldn't have won without Victor Espinoza, who scored the game-winner.
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Calabasas was forced to settle for a draw. Neither they nor Monroe could gain the upper hand last Wednesday so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Rio Mesa now has a winning record of 2-1. Calabasas' draw makes their record 0-1-1 this season.
Rio Mesa took their win against Calabasas in their previous meeting back in November of 2016 by a conclusive 4-1 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Spartans since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
