TRACY – Tournament host East Union downed Sierra 3-2 on Saturday for third place in the Lancer Pride Cup at Legacy Fields. 

The Lancers (3-2-2) took a 3-0 first-half lead behind goals by Jorge Ochoa (Jonathan Quintana assist), Alex Arroyo (Quintana assist) and Gio Padilla (German Gonzalez assist). 

Gerardo Sanchez scored a pair of unassisted goals for the Timberwolves (3-3) in the second half.  

“We had some sloppy play and lack of intensity but in the second half we picked up the energy,” Sierra coach Joe Pires said. “It was a very good game by both teams and a good way to end the pre-season.

“We are a very young team with four freshman playing varsity and a good returning group. With winning the VOL last year the spot light is on us we expect a very competitive season.”
