It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but South Gate had no problem doing just that on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 victory over the Marquez Gladiators. Given the Rams' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 250th, while the Gladiators are ranked 563rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Sherly Alvarado was the driving force of South Gate's attack as she scored both of South Gate's goals, bringing her season total up to 25 goals.
The win made it two in a row for South Gate and bumps their season record up to 16-3. As for Marquez, their loss dropped their record down to 12-7.
Looking ahead, South Gate will look to defend their home pitch on Monday against Banning at 3:00 p.m. Banning is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 4.2 goals per game this season. Marquez does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
