The Orthopaedic Vipers will face off against the Animo Bunche Stallions at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Orthopaedic is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Annenberg just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Monday. They and the Panthers finished up their contest with a 3-3 draw. While a more conclusive result would've been nice, the Vipers got plenty of practice considering the match was the highest-scoring draw the team's played all season.
They hit Annenberg with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Jessy Salas, David Aranda, and Roger Mendoza.
Meanwhile, Animo Bunche waltzed into their game on Thursday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They won by a goal and slipped past the Trojans 3-2. Given the Stallions' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 503rd, while the Trojans are ranked 1068th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Animo Bunche has also been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matches, which provided a nice bump to their 12-4-1 record this season. With that draw, Orthopaedic's record moves to 9-6-4.
