Harvard-Westlake has won four straight games at home, while Porterville has won four straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Tuesday. The Harvard-Westlake Wolverines will welcome the Porterville Panthers at 5:00 p.m. The two teams each escaped with close wins against their previous opponents.
Harvard-Westlake's defense heads into the game hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Saturday. They won by a goal and slipped past Jurupa Hills 1-0. Given the Wolverines' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 14th, while the Spartans are ranked 101st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Porterville had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They had just enough and edged out Fresno 2-1 on Tuesday. Two seems to be a good number for the Panthers as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of goals in their previous game.
Harvard-Westlake has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 13 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 38 goals over those 13 contests. Porterville's victory bumped their record up to 22-3.
