The Viewpoint Patriots and the Grace Lancers will compete for holiday cheer at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Viewpoint is headed into Thursday's following a draw, the team's first since November 21. They and Calabasas finished up their contest with a 1-1 draw on Thursday.
Viewpoint's goal came courtesy of Charlotte Young, who's now up to five this season.
Meanwhile, Grace came up short against Serrano on Saturday and fell 3-1. While losing is never fun, the Lancers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 586th, while the Diamondbacks are ranked 250th).
Grace's loss dropped their record down to 1-3-1. Viewpoint's draw makes their record 3-1-2 this season.
