BOYS SOCCER

Oakdale 4, Manteca 2

The Buffaloes (0-1, 1-8 overall) kicked off Valley Oak League play on the road, and a mistake-laden start helped Oakdale (1-0, 5-5) surge to an early three-goal lead.

They made things interesting after Kai Masudi and Prospect Afanyu each scored, but another miscue on the back line allowed the Mustangs to put away the insurance goal.

Manteca will look to bounce back today and Saturday when it hosts the Buff Cup at Woodward Park.
