With Mackenzie Weber leading the East Union defensive attack of Kaylee Hutzler, Natalia Ruiz and Olivia Morgan, the Lancers blanked West 1-0 on Saturday and claimed first place in the girls Lancer Pride Cup at Dino Cunial Field.

The hero of the day was Jenna Campbell. Following a scoreless first half, the Lancers sophomore fought through severe knee pain to toe the mark outside the box for a free kick and drilled it past the Wolf Pack goalie for the lone goal of the contest. Her pain was so severe she was unable to continue after her game-deciding shot.

“It was really good competition for the play to girls from start to finish,” East Union coach Justin Silva said. “It was a really good tournament for as a really young team still trying to come together and find our identity and leadership.

“Coming out with four wins helped us come together and learn who we are with our strengths and weaknesses and what to build on to continue our success.”

Cassiday Pearson made two saves for the Lancers (5-0), who also shut out Mountain House 4-0 earlier on Saturday. Tallon Cervantez, Jenna Campbell, Giselle Hamilton, Chelsea Keathley each scored a goal, with Hamilton, Keathley, Kaylee Mejia and Olivia Morgan adding an assist apiece.
