GIRLS SOCCER

East Union 6, Weston Ranch 0

Taylor McMahon fired four goals on senior night, while Hailey Sims and Tallon Cervantez added one each for the Lancers (7-3 VOL, 8-3 overall).

McMahon and Sims were among the seniors recognized along with Selena Medeiros, Jasmine Ruiz and the goalkeeping tandem of Malia Allen and Kylie Mendez who had the opportunity to play field positions and attempt shots. 

“Even though this is my first year with the girls program, I’ve been coaching here at EU since these seniors were freshmen,” coach Jason Silva said. “These girls have been the heart and soul of the girls program for the last few years and it’s definitely sad to see them go, but I’m proud of their accomplishments.”

Meanwhile, Weston Ranch was highlighted by Kehura Ellerbe’s school record 26 saves. 

“Kehura and the team tonight played very aggressive,” Weston Ranch coach Gabe Padilla said. “We kept a good EU team off the scoreboard for 60 minutes but at a point we got complacent and lost our intensity and they pounced on that. We just have to find a way to keep our energy for all 80 inutes and not take a play off. This has to be our next step.”
