The Mustangs played superb volleyball last week. Stanton was challenged at times, but came through in the clutch just like they have pretty much all season.
The Mustangs (14-1) take on Wisner-Pilger (6-1) and Pender (2-6) on Tuesday at the Pender Triangular.
The Gators lost 3-2 at North Bend Central on Tuesday of last week while the Pendragons lost 3-0 at home to Wakefield on Thursday.
Stanton should be able to make quick work of Pender, but Wisner-Pilger could provide an interesting challenge.
The Gators are a very good team, and a rival of Stanton's.
I expect this to be a very intense and competitive match.
I look for the match to go three sets. I could see the Mustangs winning in two given the way they have played lately, but I think Wisner-Pilger is too good to get swept in this match.
I think Stanton will win, but the Gators should put up a fight.
These are the Mustangs' only two matches of the week, and it would be a big deal to get to 16-1.
Stanton has passed almost every test they've had so far, and I look for the Mustangs to pass two more tests on Tuesday.
Stanton has to be on top of their game though. Wisner-Pilger is a quality team, and Pender can't be overlooked.
The Mustangs have to remain focused and keep their eye on the prize.
Stanton will no doubt get both teams' best shot so they have to be ready to go from the get go.
