Villa Angela - St. Joseph VASJ - 2-0-0 - Our program earned its first win ever against VASJ in 1993 and played again 10 years later in 2003 and won again.


Soccer Site of the Week:
With the start of the new year, many people make resolutions and here in our Blog we like to start the year off with motivational sayings to spice up the off season time.  Twitter has become a popular way to communicate and we would like to suggest a Twitter site loaded with inspirational sayings for women athletes.  The site may be found at:
