Parkway Central Varsity soccer finished 4th out of 10 in a difficult conference. The team was able to defeat some opponents that the program has not beaten in a few years. Most games were tight and goals were few, both scoring and conceding, with 11 of the 19 games ending in a 1-goal differential. Congratulations to Sophie Spicuzza who is continuing her playing career at Clarke University. Saying goodbye to 5 seniors was tough, but the future looks bright with so many experienced returning players coming back for next season.
