VCS SOCCER BANQUET

Please plan on joining us for our JV and Varsity Soccer Banquet Monday, October 29th at 6:30 p.m. We're planning a time to share our stories of the Revolution for 2007 and we thought it would be fun to share food as well. So plan on bringing a main dish to share in our potluck. We will provide the drinks, salads and dessert.

MINI REVS CANCELLED FOR FRI 10/19/07

Due to the wet field and incoming bad weather the Mini-Revolution practice for Friday is cancelled. We will resume the last week of Mini-Revolution on Wed and will wrap up on Friday.

Tuesday 10/09 was the hardest fought game the Revolution have played to date as the took the athletic Temple Academy team to the wire in Waterville en route to a 2-1 loss.

The Revolution took the lead 1-0 twelve minutes into the first half on a Jaida Ross goal assisted by Shonah Russell. The VCS team played solid defense until Temple took advantage of a miscue and tied the game in the 29th minute.
