Meanwhile, Upland kept a clean sheet against Don Lugo last Saturday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 1-0 win over the Conquistadores. Given the Highlanders/Scots' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 78th, while the Conquistadores are ranked 222nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
