The Royal Highlanders will take on the Simi Valley Pioneers at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Royal's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for three straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Royal lost 5-1 to Moorpark on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Highlanders can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 693rd, while the Musketeers are ranked 32nd).
Meanwhile, Simi Valley can bid farewell to their seven-game losing streak thanks to their game on Friday. Neither they nor Camarillo could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw. The result was nothing new for the Pioneers as the team haven't won a game since December 16, 2024.
Their goal came courtesy of Angel Orozco, who's now up to two this season.
With that draw, Simi Valley's record moves to 4-11-1. As for Royal, their loss dropped their record down to 6-14-3.
Royal beat Simi Valley by a goal in their previous meeting back in January, winning 1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Royal since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
