The Eagles look to hold down sophomore Natalie Sunderson (32 goals, nine assists), J.J. Tooalty (15 goals) and Lisa Engel (12 goals, nine assists). ``Buena has a lot of speed and I have seen their scores,'' Lancaster coach Rick Acuna said. ``Their speed is what we have to contain. We have to prevent them from getting the ball.'' Lancaster's best weapon is sophomore Laci Fults, who has scored 23 goals. Senior Kristi Hamilton, a returning All-Southern Section sweeper, and Brienne Kephart pace the defense.

League. TODAY'S GAMES VALENCIA (15-4-6) AT HIGHLAND (12-8-2) Valencia outlook: The Vikings finished in a three-way for second place in the Foothill League. Senior Heather Zubis is the leading scorer. They beat Highland 3-0 in December. The good outside shooting team beat the Highlanders by one early in the season. Highland outlook: The Bulldogs have adapted to new coach Lamuel Garcia's drop-back defense, and the coach says his team is peaking at the right time. Highland's advantages: The Bulldogs' best players are young - sophomore Lindsey Giametro (11 goals) and freshman Lizelle Jackson (10 goals) - so it is a good bet they are better than they were when Highland lost 3-0 to Valencia two months ago. Highland's disadvantages: Not having athletic Gonzales hurts. Playing against mostly weak teams in the Golden League is not the best preparation, either. What has to happen for Highland to win: The Bulldogs have to warm up. They were late arriving to their Dec. 17 loss to Valencia, which scored two goals in the first 10 minutes. LONG BEACH WILSON (6-9-4) AT QUARTZ HILL (10-6-6) Quartz Hill outlook: The Rebels have struggled offensively most of the season, so coach Mike Kuper said the game plan is to hold Wilson to no more than one goal. Quartz Hill's advantages: Long Beach Wilson makes the long trip, and Quartz Hill has the better record. Quartz Hill's disadvantages: The Rebels lack punch.
