The Chula Vista Spartans will head out to take on the Mater Dei Catholic Crusaders at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Chula Vista's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for six straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Last Tuesday, Chula Vista and Otay Ranch finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw. That draw made it three straight for the Spartans.
Meanwhile, Mater Dei Catholic hasn't lost a match since December 13, 2024, a trend which continued in their latest game on Tuesday. They never let Castle Park onto the board and left with a 2-0 win. Given the Crusaders' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 71st, while the Trojans are ranked 795th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Mater Dei Catholic pushed their record up to 11-1-3 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those victories came thanks to their defensive effort, having only given up zero goals over those three matches. Chula Vista's draw makes their record 3-6-4 this season.
