Carmel-Soledad girls soccer

 Not much has changed since these two Mission Trail Athletic League rivals faced off in the season opener on Jan. 10.
 Both are unbeaten in league since that epic battle - a 2-1 Carmel win - giving Wednesday's rematch in Soledad a playoff type feeling.
 What will be different for the defending MTAL champion Aztecs is they will have Belinda Ascencio in the lineup.
 The schools all-time leader in goals missed the Carmel game. Since then Ascencio has made up for lost time with 14 goals during Soledad's five-game winning streak.
 Ascencio has 22 goals on the season and 82 goals for her career, as the Aztecs (6-1) have outscored their last five opponents 32-3.
 Five of Carmel's (6-0-1) seven league games have been decided by one goal, having allowed just four goals in MTAL play behind goalie Serena Valdez-Klemek.
 Offensively Zoe Patterson has 11 goals while Paxton Ataide has had a hand in 10 goals, with a team leading six assists.
