The Corona Panthers will take on the Poly Bears in a tournament on Friday. The two teams are strolling into their matchups after big wins in their previous games.
Corona had to skate by with only a one-goal margin when they last took the pitch, which might have inspired the five-goal drubbing they dealt Citrus Hill on Thursday. The Panthers' defense stepped up to hand the Hawks a 5-0 shutout. Considering Corona's offense had been struggling lately, the high-scoring outing was a much-needed turnaround.
Meanwhile, Poly made easy work of Orange Vista on Thursday and carried off a 3-0 win. Given Poly's advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked fifth, while Orange Vista are ranked 143rd) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Poly's victory bumped their record up to 8-0. As for Corona, their win bumped their record up to 4-2.
