Kaiser (3-0-1) at Castle (4-0-0)
OIA East girls' soccer
Saturday, 2 p.m."I'm looking forward to a very good game with Castle," Kaiser coach Robyn Chun said.
The Cougars feature a triple scoring threat in Lindsie Shimizu, Jamie Shishido and OIA Player of the Year last season Erin Sayegusa, who have combined for 13 of the team's 19 goals. Arica Lau has four of the Knights' 12 goals.
Both teams rely on stellar defense as well as stingy goalies. Heading up the Castle defense are returning all-league pick Jill Fujimoto along with Ali Yasui and Kori Yasumura.
"It's always a big game when our teams play," Castle coach Mark Kane said. "The Castle-Kaiser boys' game will be big, too. Whoever wins should have the inside track for the division title."
