Manteca and Sierra High soccer players will have to wait a few more days to settle a tight crosstown contest at Guss Schmiedt Field.

The teams battled to a 1-0 Sierra lead after one half Tuesday, Sept. 15, before a power failure forced a postponement of the second half.

Oscar Garcia snuck a ball past Manteca goalkeeper Florin Lambert 21 minutes into the contest on a Braian Gomez assist for the only goal.

Sierra (0-0-1 Valley Oak League, 5-5-1 overall) will resume play against Manteca (0-1, 1-7) at 4 p.m. Monday, Sept. 21.

East Union (2-0, 5-3-1) managed a second consecutive VOL victory with a 2-0 shutout of visiting Oakdale on Tuesday.

Gabriel Avalos scored on a Francisco Marmolejo assist, and Victory Garibay scored his fourth goal of the season on a Julio Pimentel pass. Joe Modesto (five saves) preserved the shutout.
