For the second time this season the Mariners and Falcons will square off in PACWEST action. In their first meeting the Mariners blanked the Falcons 5-0 during Week 1. Jordan King scored twice in the match-up, both on penalty kicks. Since that victory the Mariners have lost two straight scoring twice. Saturday’s game will be the first on the road for the Mariners.

The Falcons meanwhile have struggled as of late and haven’t scored in three straight games. As a matter of fact their only goal this season came back in Week 1 when Cassidy Kwan found the back of the net. Their last three games have all been on the road.
