Why this one matters

Freedom, the home side, will look to bounce back on its home turf after opening the season with a loss. Maria Carrillo arrives seeking its first win of 2025 and a road statement. The teams last met on Sept. 6, 2024, at Maria Carrillo, when Freedom walked away with a 13-2 victory — a low‑scoring affair that both programs will remember as they prepare for a new season.
