The Maricopa High School girls’ soccer team have won three straight games to improve to 7-5-1 on the season.

The Rams defeated Sierra Linda Monday night, 4-1, in non-conference play.

Maricopa has played only one game against a section opponent so far. That was an exciting 2-1 win at Raymond S. Kellis (6-3-0) in December.  That has Maricopa at the top of the 5A Metro standings. Most of the rest of the season will be section contests, including Wednesday’s game at Ironwood.

The Rams’ next home game is Friday against 5A Metro rival Apollo (6-6-0). The game is at 6 p.m.

Outside of tournament play, the Rams are 4-3. Ranked 19th in 5A, Maricopa is in playoff contention.
