The Sierra High boys had a couple of tough-luck losses Saturday to finish fourth in the Timberwolves Soccer Tournament at Daniel Teicheira Memorial Stadium. 

With Sierra (5-4-1) leading 4-2 in the third-place game against Vacaville (2-2), defensive breakdowns coupled with an injured goalie allowed the Bulldogs to tie the game at 4-4 forcing a shootout. 

Vacaville made all five of their penalty kicks and the Timberwolves made only four to give the Bulldogs the third-place trophy.

Chris Cortez, David Lopez, Eddie Aguilar and Carlos Mendez scored for Sierra with assists by Aguilar, Alexis Mata and Kevin Mendiola. 

In the 2-1 loss to Enochs of Modesto (7-2) in the semifinals, according to Timberwolves coach Joe Pires the Eagles consistently beat Sierra to the 50-50 balls and the Timberwolves struggled to put passes together.
