Saturday, Nov. 19, marks the first game of the postseason. Your first-place Marauders soccer team will be going up against College of the Canyons at 2 p.m.

“I came from COC. Alumni players of mine are staffed as coaches. That’s where I spent five years. So it has the bad and the good,” said Head Coach Stupar. “The good is, I think it’s going to be an epic game. Two years ago we beat them pretty bad, so they’re looking for a comeback and what better way to do it in quarter finals?”

“We’re going to do fitness work this week. It’s going to come down to the final 10 minutes of the game,” said Stupar. “It’s either fitness or depth. We have the depth but if we could be fitter than that, we’ll match up well with COC. It will be decided in the last 10 minutes of each half. Hopefully it will be us.”
