PSC 06 Green Girls Win Rush Kickoff Classic Tournament

The Portage Soccer Club U13 Green Girls team started the season by winning the Rush Kickoff Classic Tournament in Northville, MI.  The girls played up an age group in the U14 division and played great soccer as a team.   They won their first 4 games playing 11v11 on full size fields with full size goals.  They only had 14 of our 18 girls with one of the missing girls being our goalie.  It was hot, it was a bigger field, and girls took turns in goal.  The girls only allowed 1 goal all weekend.  It was an amazing weekend of great soccer.  The coaches and parents are super PROUD of the girls!!

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!
