The Marshall girls’ varsity soccer team was on an undefeated streak in the Mission Valley League until their match against South El Monte, where they suffered a 2-1 loss. This left South El Monte undefeated, keeping them in first place. Although they won, this will not be the last time they will see Marshall.

The Eagles, who are currently in second place, are still hungry for another win. But the real question is whether Marshall is ready for their rematch with South El Monte on Jan. 27. Marshall goalkeeper Penelope Herron believes that the team is prepared: “I think our team is ready because we want to do better than last time and have improved the important things like communication.”

Her teammates share her confidence. The team’s coaches have also stated that if Marshall keeps their energy and spirits high, no one can stop them.

This match will be important for Marshall to stay in contention for the top spot in their league, so it is important for the Eagles to be prepared. The game could go either way, but Marshall has historically shown dominance against this team. Ultimately, if Marshall wants to secure the win, they need to continue improving and keep their energy high.
