Varsity girls’ soccer remains undefeated, draws first seed in playoffs

It was another good week for the Manchester soccer team.

Manchester’s varsity soccer team continued its dream season this week, according to co-coach Scott Somerville.

“They had only one game on Wednesday May 12 vs. Jackson Christian, and won 8-0,” Somerville said. “The (team is) now 11-0 and drew a 1st seed in the playoffs for Division 4, District 53.”

Nine of the team’s 11 games have been shut-outs, with only four goals scored against the team, and many games have been subject to the mercy rule, which states when a team is leading by 8 points, play is suspended.

Congratulations to this hard-working team and we are watching for more successes in the coming weeks!
