Girls Varsity Soccer, one of St. Paul Academy’s most consistently successful teams, is outplaying the competition once again this fall, to the tune of an 11-3 record. One of those wins was a stunning 3-2 upset of number one-ranked Eastview on Sept. 24, boding well for the team’s chances in the state tournament . The team is paced by sophomore Molly Fiedler and senior Maddie Hanson, with 18 and 14 goals, respectively.   They play their homecoming game against Blake at X:00, on Saturday, October 6 at Lang Field, in a match that senior captain  Nina Perkkio says will be a close one. “We are going to have to be at our best to beat them,” she said.
