Tuesday's game
No. 6 Burlingame (14-3-4) vs. No. 2 Alisal (14-1-4) at Milpitas High, 7 p.m.
The Trojans quest for a third Central Coast Section title in eight years begins with its defense, which has allowed just 12 goals all season -- three during an 11 game unbeaten run.
Alisal's defense rose to the occasion in last weeks Open Division quarterfinals, putting the clamps on Los Altos while the offense got a pair of overtime goals to advance.
Ranked No. 6 in the state by MaxPreps, the Trojans (14-1-4) offense has relied on Angel Amezcua and Carlos Pacheco, who have combined for 24 goals and 15 assists.
In fact, Amezuca has more goals (16) than Alisal has given up in the entire season. Joel Garcia has quietly assisted on eight goals while Abraham Montano had his biggest goal last week.
Burlingame won the Peninsula Bay Athletic League, allowing just 16 goals on the year. Seeded No. 6 in the Open Division, it upset WCAL power Mitty 2-0 to advance.
The Panthers haven't won a CCS title since 1996. They played for the Division III title in 2014 after knocking off Soledad in the semifinals.
