East Union likely would have been satisfied with a tie.The Lancers instead celebrated a shocking 4-3 come-from-behind victory over Central Catholic in the Valley Oak League opener for both teams Tuesday at Dino Cunial Field. They never led until the closing seconds when Jasmine Mejia beat a Central Catholic defender to a Hail Mary long ball from Mariana Huizar and blew a confident near-post shot past goalkeeper Alex Rodriguez. The game-ending whistle was blown immediately after the restart.East Union (1-0-0, 5-3-0 overall) scored three unanswered goals — the last two by Mejia — in the final 20 minutes after trailing 3-1 early in the second half.“I didn’t even think about it, just go for it all,” Mejia said of her dramatic game-winner.
