Why this game matters

Villanova Prep (0-0) and Malibu (0-0) open the season with a short trip down the Pacific Coast. Villanova arrives with a larger SBLive following (7 fans recorded) compared with Malibu’s 1 fan on the site — but those counts can change quickly once fans follow the teams. This is a chance for both programs to set a tone early in nonleague play.

Last meeting and notes

Their most recent recorded meeting came Nov. 20, 2019, in Malibu, where Villanova Prep is listed as the winner (2-0). That’s the last posted result between the programs on SBLive; both teams have fresh schedules coming up — Villanova Prep hosts Nordhoff on Nov. 20, 2025, and Malibu hosts Nordhoff on Nov. 21, 2025 — so expect coaches to be looking for quick lessons and rotations.
