Share via

When: Tonight, 7

Where: Irvine High

Key Sea Kings (6-2, 1-1 in Pacific Coast League): Jr. RB J.D. Abbott (108 carries for 694 yards and five TDs, caught game-winning TD vs. Irvine); Sr. WR-LB Max Haase (21 catches for 240 yards and four TDs); Sr. LB Tyler Haly.

Breakdown: Corona del Mar hopes to keep momentum going after outlasting Irvine, 14-13, last week ... This game may also be a nail-biter. University and Irvine played a nonleague season opener on Sept. 5, and the Trojans won by an identical 14-13 score ... University is the defending Pacific Coast League co-champion, but has lost three straight games ... Corona del Mar hasn’t beaten the Trojans since 2005 ... CdM is up to No. 5 in the CIF Southern Section Southern Division poll, one of four PCL teams in the poll, including top-ranked Laguna Hills. But University, in the top five earlier in the year, is no longer ranked.
