Friday will be a historic day for the Pittston Area and Wyoming Area girls soccer teams. After having played in the spring since the programs were started in the 1990s, on Friday both teams will play their first fall games.
The PIAA mandated that all conferences and school districts move their girls soccer seasons to the fall for 2012.
Pittston Area opens its first fall season Friday at Lake Lehman. Wyoming Area is at Hanover.
Having both the boys and girls soccer seasons playing in the same season, presented an opportunity that Wyoming Area took advantage of â?? inter-gender games.
The WA boys and girls soccer teams played each other twice under real game conditions. Scores werenâ??t revealed, but letâ??s just say the girls held their own.
