The Millikan Rams will challenge the Lakewood Lancers at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Millikan is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Woodrow Wilson just ended the team's seven-game winning streak on Monday. Neither they nor the Bruins could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw. The result kept the Rams happy, as they haven't lost a game since December 30, 2024.
Their goal came courtesy of Juan Vasquez, who's now up to 23 this season.
Meanwhile, Lakewood kept a clean sheet against Compton on Friday. They skirted past the Tarbabes 1-0. Given the Lancers' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 276th, while the Tarbabes are ranked 762nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
The win made it two in a row for Lakewood and bumps their season record up to 11-7-4. Millikan's draw makes their record 22-2-2 this season.
Millikan beat Lakewood 4-2 in their previous matchup back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for Millikan since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
