The Irvine Vaqueros will head out to face off against the Aliso Niguel Wolverines at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Vaqueros fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Wednesday's season opener. They escaped with a win on Wednesday against Costa Mesa by the margin of a single free throw, 38-37.
Meanwhile, it was close, but on Wednesday Aliso Niguel sidestepped Trabuco Hills for a 41-39 win. The Wolverines haven't had any issues with the Mustangs recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive victory against them.
Irvine skirted past Aliso Niguel 59-56 in their previous matchup back in January of 2016. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Wolverines' Makenna Lee, who shot 83% from the field on her way to 13 points and four steals. Now that she won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Vaqueros to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
