The East Union flag football team shook up the top of the Valley Oak League standings with its 27-7 win at Central Catholic on Tuesday.  

The result has created logjam, as Central Catholic (4-1, 12-6) was unable to separate from the Lancers (3-1, 8-5), Manteca and Sierra, which stunned EU in a fourth-quarter comeback last week.

Caliyah Lopez had a stellar two-way performance, corralling 11 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown, while contributing to the defense with four tackles, an interception and a pass deflection.

Quarterback Julianna Gaspar erupted for 245 yards and three touchdowns on 20-of-26 passing. She also rushed five times for 45 yards and a TD. Sixty-six of those passing yards came on a touchdown connection with Lopez.

Ava Barrera and Elii Flores scored a touchdown apiece. Sierra Dormer, Larissa Harries and Lopez each chipped in a point-after conversion. Makayla Burlingame highlighted the defense with four sacks and two tackles.
