2016 Palo Verde Girls Soccer Capsule

PALO VERDE

League: Class 4A Northwest League

Head coach: Frank Messina, 10th season

2015 record: 13-5-1 (7-1 Southwest, first)

Returning letter winners (starters): Sixteen (eight)

Top athletes: F Macee Barlow (Sr.), MF Jadyn Nogues (Sr.), MF Gia Barone (Sr.)

Outlook: The Panthers seemingly always have one of the top programs in the Sunset Region, and with 16 letter winners back from a league championship team, this season should be no different.

Barlow (18 goals, 5 assists) and Nogues (17 goals, 14 assists) are a terrific one-two scoring punch, and Barone (1 goal, 10 assists) also is a big weapon.

“The team returns many veterans, and with this experience, we will try to make a return to the playoff scene in what is a very competitive league,” Messina said.
