The Manteca High girls soccer team cruised to its second win in as many days on Saturday, as five different players scored a goal in its 6-0 rout of visiting Chavez.

Lejla Pepic had a hand in three of those scores, netting two goals while assisting the game’s first one to Jocelyn Reyes in the 21st minute. Pepic’s penalty kick with less than 2 minutes left gave the Buffaloes (2-0) a 2-0 halftime lead.

Allison Hoyer assisted Manteca’s next two goals, which were put away by Leah Manuleleua and Ivy Benson. Jasmine Basuil set up Pepic’s second goal with a throw-in. Freshman Alexa Mayen capped scoring off a feed from Avigail Mayem
