Loss Doesn't Tarnish History Making Season for Women's Soccer Team
|
The ACPHS women's soccer team was defeated 7-1 last Friday by two-time defending champion University of Maine-Ft. Kent in the USCAA national semifinals.

Special congratulations go out to Sarah Cope and Skippy Ripepi who were both named to the USCAA All-American team!
