The Mira Monte Lions will venture away from home to take on the Golden Valley Bulldogs at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Mira Monte is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 3.1 goals per game this season.
Mira Monte is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Foothill just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Friday. Neither they nor the Trojans could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time the Lions have been dealt a draw since back in December of 2024.
Their goal came courtesy of Jose Oviedo, who's now up to 12 this season.
Meanwhile, Golden Valley had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3.4 goals) and they went ahead and made it six on Friday. They came out on top against the Suns by a score of 3-1. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 320th, while the Suns are ranked 880th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Golden Valley is also on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine games, which provided a nice bump to their 8-5-3 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 27 goals over those nine contests. With that draw, Mira Monte's record moves to 12-3-2.
