LAST WEEKEND THE YAVAPAI COLLEGE WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM SET A PROGRAM RECORD BY SCORING 17 GOALS IN ONE GAME WHEN THEY ROUTED PARADISE VALLEY. AS IT TURNS OUT, THREE FORMER PRESCOTT HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER PLAYERS PLAYED A ROLE IN THAT RECORD-SETTING PERFORMANCE. 

GABBIE ANTONINI HAD A HAT TRICK FOR THE LADY RIDERS, AND TACKED ON AN ASSIST FOR GOOD MEASURE. HER SISTER, MADDIE, HAD AN ASSIST IN THAT GAME. THE THIRD MEMBER OF THE EX-PRESCOTT CONTINGENT, MEGAN TOWNSEND, POSTED A GOAL AND AN ASSIST. 

TOWNSEND AND THE ANTONINIS, ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE YAVAPAI WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM, ARE HOME THIS SATURDAY VERSUS MESA. 

ANOTHER FORMER BADGER, EMMA ALVAREZ – WHO ALSO PLAYED FOR YAVAPAI – HAS BECOME ONE OF THE TOP GOAL SCORERS FOR PARK UNIVERSITY. SHE SCORED A GOAL IN THE LADY BUCS 4-1 TRIUMPH OVER LA SIERRA LAST THURSDAY. ALVAREZ HAS SIX GOALS ON THE SEASON.
