Top-seeded Santa Margarita can make history with its fourth consecutive Division III title. No school has won four section soccer titles in a row. The Eagles are heavily favored over a Bonita team that is down to 13 players. Two starters are out with injuries and a third, forward Jeff Meacham (13 goals), received his second yellow card during injury time of the 4-3 semifinal victory over South Torrance. The Eagles are without UC Irvine-bound forward Jon Nebot (knee), but they still have midfielder Spencer George (19 goals, 27 assists) and forward Sebastian Galmarini (20 goals).
