It's playoff time, and Santa Cruz had no trouble coming through when it counted. They came out on top against the Burlingame Panthers by a score of 57-46 on Thursday. For the Cardinals, this counts as revenge for the 43-39 victory the Panthers walked away with the last time they faced one another back in June of 2021.
Santa Cruz has been performing well recently as they've won 12 of their last 15 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-11 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 63.0 points over those games. Burlingame moved to 13-14 with that loss, which also ended their four-game winning streak.
Looking ahead, Santa Cruz will square off against Aptos at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both teams are headed into the matchup with plenty of momentum (Aptos has won nine straight at home, while Santa Cruz won three straight on the road), something that'll have to change. Burlingame does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
