Tustin (11-1) vs. Irvine (12-0)

7:30 TONIGHT IRVINE HIGH

Irvine, seeded second, is trying to reach the Division VI final for the second consecutive year, while third-seeded Tustin is trying to get back to a championship game for the first time since 1997. Each team has the same type of attacking defense, but contrasting styles: Irvine’s strength comes from its quickness, Tustin’s from its physical play. Irvine must shorten the field through special teams play or turnovers and can’t afford to give the bigger Tillers extra scoring opportunities. Tustin’s defense can’t afford to get caught out of position.
