Manteca clinched a spot in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II postseason after wrapping up its Valley Oak League schedule with a 9-0 rout of East Union on Thursday.

Manteca finished 10-4 in the VOL and qualified for the playoffs as a third seed. It’s kind of exciting going to the playoffs,” Manteca head coach Frank Fontana said. “We have a fairly new, inexperienced team, so just qualifying is a huge success for us.”

Manteca’s Mike Lopez (6-3, 6-1), Yok-Jing Ma (6-0, 6-1) and Puneet Sandhu (6-0, 6-0) all picked up straight set wins. The Buffaloes last three singles players (Alex Vasquez, Thomas Reza and Spencer Jackson) recorded sweeps as well.

All of Manteca’s doubles teams picked up victories in straight sets.
