In 2008 we will participate in Region 3 of District 10 in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Our team goal is to be the first girl's varsity soccer team from District 10 to win a state championship. We were the Region 2 champions in 2004 and 2005. In 2006 and 2007 we finished in 2nd place. In the 2004 season we were the District 10 champions, the first AA team from District 10 to win the Western Finals as well as being the first AA team from District 10 to be a State Finalist. In 2007 we were D-10 runner-up and Western Championship Quarterfinalist. We have a very aggressive voluntary off-season program including free skills training and indoor soccer, spring travel soccer, speed training and a 6v6 league. Our Soccer program is designed to provide the participants the opportunity to learn and refine their soccer skills.

2008 SEASON - GAME 14
The Victors traveled to Girard for windy, rainy second matchup versus the Yellowjackets. As usual Girard brought its best defense to the game. The Victors continued to apply offensive pressure but the Yellowjackets kept their poise. Sixteen minutes into the game Kaitlyn Kissell, off a pass from Kayley Jones, put a move on her defender and slotted the ball to the far side from 20 yards out. Five minutes later Jones scored from the 18 off a pass from Alyse Sambuchino. It wasn't until 20 minutes into the second half when the Victors would again find the back of the net for their final goal. With Kelsey Wiebel taking the corner, Jones' header was deflected by a defender but Nicole Patsy was there to score off the rebound. Maura Connell, Nicole Shellenbarger and Gabby Parker shared the shutout in goal.
The JV's won 2-0 with goals from Mattie Reichel and Julia Lucas. Rebecca Sweny got the shutout in goal.
