MODESTO — Manteca’s streak of shutout wins ended at six Thursday in a 2-1 loss at Central Catholic.

It was pivotal match between the Valley Oak League contenders, and Mya Ridenour’s two goals were the difference for the Raiders (6-2, 9-4-1 overall).

Madison Burch buried the Buffaloes’ lone goal and was set up by a nice negative pass from Jocelyn Reyes. That tied it at 1-1 in the first half. Goalie Caitlin McVeigh registered six saves, but Manteca (4-2, 10-4-1) was unable to capitalize on its 15-7 advantage in shot attempts. 

“(McVeigh) played a great game, we just made a couple of costly mistakes there in the back that were uncharacteristic for us,” Manteca coach Justin Coenenberg said. “Give Central credit, they played a good, strong, physical game.”

Manteca doesn’t have to wait long for a rematch, as Central Catholic visits Monday for a make-up game. The Buffaloes will first take on East Union on Saturday in another rescheduled contest.
