AWC soccer at Phoenix College

Game starts: 4:30 p.m. today, Hoy Stadium

Last game: AWC beat South Mountain on the road Saturday 3-2, the second of three straight road contests. The Bears lost to Pima 1-0 in Tucson.

Records: AWC (9-6-1 overall, 7-6-1 Arizona Community College Athletic Conference); Phoenix (6-6-2, 6-6-2 ACCAC)

Player to watch: Despite a scoreless week, Abdel Becerra remains in fourth place in the ACCAC scoring leaders. ... Jonathan Cortez is one of the leading goalkeepers in the conference in minutes and goals allowed.

The lowdown:  With four games to play and sitting in fourth place in the ACCAC, the Matadors control much of their own playoff destiny. The same goes for the Bears, who are tied for fifth with South Mountain. Only two games separate third place Chandler-Gilbert and eighth place Glendale ...  AWC's Vinny Muscarella will miss today's game for receiving a red card on Saturday. Paris Figueroa (groin) is questionable, meaning Fernando Rodriguez will likely move up into the forward spot ... The Bears have lost three of their last four matches, including defeats against Paradise Valley and Scottsdale, while the Matadors have won three of their last four ... The two teams played to a 2-2 draw on Sept. 13 in Yuma ... Phoenix College's roster boasts Kofa King grads Cesar Beltran, Hazael Perez, Noe Cobian and Jesus Andres Villapudua
