Freshman Tiano Cello had two goals and an assist Saturday night to lead Sierra to a 3-2 win over Central Catholic-Modesto for the championship of Vern Gebhardt Champions Cup at Daniel Teicheira Memorial Stadium.

“I am very excited for these girls,” Timberwolves coach Manuel Pires said. “Especially the new kids that are now a part of the varsity program. They played a really good team in the end and winning this was a great experience.

“For the returning players this is like three years in a row we have won this tournament. We had to go through a lot of different players to see what they could do but I love the way they played. They left everything on the field and played with a lot of heart and they grew each game and got tougher.”

Yasmin Ballew added a goal and an assist for Sierra (4-0-1) and Callie Crain had an assist.

Aliyah Guerrero had three saves for the Cougars (2-3) in their tournament finale.
