PSC Wall of Fame Dedication Ceremony

PAIGE WESTER

Dedication ceremony on June 24th at 3:00pm - Portage Soccer Complex

The “Wall of Fame” at the Portage Soccer Complex is a popular attraction particularly for visiting teams.  I often see parents and players there reading about these PSC alumni.  The honorees include Lindsay Tarpley, Jacob Peterson, Eric Alexander and B.J. Snow will soon be joined by another outstanding PSC player.
 
Paige Wester played for the PSC in the early 2000’s.  Her high school Portage Central team won the Division 1 State Championship in 2009.  Paige earned all-conference, all-district and all-state first team honors her freshman, sophomore and junior seasons.  She earned the title “Michigan Ms. Soccer” in her sophomore and junior years.  That honor is awarded annually to the top female player in the state.
 
Following a standout high school career Paige took her skills to Michigan State University for an outstanding four year career.  Paige will be honored at the Portage Soccer Complex on June 24th with the unveiling of her wall plaque.  Congratulations Paige!

PSC 2006 Green Girls Team Wins Reds Invitational

The Portage SC 2006 Green Girls were amazing at the Reds Invitational in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on April 21st & 22nd, 2018.  They were able to keep a clean slate for all four of their matches.  They won 3 games and tied their second game 0-0 against a challenging team.  As a result they tied their bracket and the first four tie breakers.  The tournament would be decided by a penalty kick shootout.  The girls won the shootout 3-2 securing the win after 2 saves by our goalkeeper.  Congratulations, girls!

PSC 05 Green Girls Win Kalahari Cup

Portage SC 2005 Green Girls were amazing at the Kalahari Cup in Northern Ohio, October 28-29, 2017 in the cold, rain and sometimes sleet. They won their bracket and semi-final in four close matches and went on to the fifth match of the weekend for the U13 Girls final. A miraculous, literally last second goal by our girls tied the match 1-1 and sent it into overtime and a shootout. The girls won the shootout 3-1 burying three of the four shots taken with the fourth on goal but denied by a great save along with a save by our keeper to secure the win. Very proud of these girls for their team performance and support of each other on and off the field. Congratulations, girls!
