The Elizabeth Bulldogs will head out to face off against the Marquez Gladiators at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Elizabeth fell victim to Maywood Academy and their airtight defense on Monday. They fell just short of the Nighthawks by a score of 1-0. The Bulldogs have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Marquez). Everything went their way against Sotomayor on Monday as Marquez made off with a 7-1 win. Given the Gladiators' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 403rd, while Wolves are ranked 1144th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Marquez is also on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a massive bump to their 5-4-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 21 goals over those five matches. As for Elizabeth, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-9.
Elizabeth might still be hurting after the 5-0 loss they got from Marquez in their previous matchup back in January of 2024. Can Elizabeth avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
