The Mountain House Mustangs will face off against the Central Catholic Raiders at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Mountain House is headed into Tuesday's following a draw, the team's first since December 14. Neither they nor East Union could gain the upper hand on Thursday so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw. The Mustangs had to tread lightly for part of the contest as three Mountain House players were handed yellow cards, which could explain the final result.
Their goal came courtesy of Rhys Dominguez, who's now up to three this season.
