In a final tune-up before the start of the Trans Valley League girls soccer campaign, Ripon blanked host East Union 2-0 on Monday at Woodward Park for its seventh shutout of the season.

Danielle Rey broke the tie just 2 minute in with a curling direct kick from near the top of the penalty box. The Indians (9-4) got the insurance goal in the 59th minute when Madelyn McKiernan’s through ball found Alexis Zamora for a 1-on-1 chance.

Giuliana Locarnini came up with seven saves in the shutout. Ten of Ripon’s 13 shots were on frame. East Union had 10 attempts.

The Indians open TVL play Wednesday at home against Ripon Christian, while East Union (6-6-1) kicks off Valley Oak League action Friday at Mountain House.
