TRACY — The Manteca Futbol Club United captured the under-15 girls championship of the 3rd Annual Tracy Bowl at Plasencia Fields Monday.
United wrapped up the four-day event with a 1-0 victory over Burlingame SC Phoenix. Sialei Manuleleua scored the deciding goal with 17 minutes left in the championship match, finishing off a nice feed from Samantha Greiman.

Manteca FC’s defense gave up just one goal in its four tournament games, and it came in the first match Friday in a 3-1 win against Tracy Futbol Club Revolution, a team United had never previously beaten.
