The Marquez Gladiators will face off against the Animo Leadership Aztec Eagles at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
Marquez's last match might've seen four goals scored, but the final result was still a bit underwhelming. They and Maywood Academy finished up on equal footing with a 2-2 draw on Monday. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time the Gladiators have been dealt a draw since back in December of 2024.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Animo Leadership, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. Their defense stepped up to hand Hawthorne a 2-0 shutout on Friday. Given the Aztec Eagles' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 339th, while the Cougars are ranked 1028th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
With that draw, Marquez's record moves to 1-3-5. As for Animo Leadership, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 7-7-2 record this season.
