What’s it like being a freshman on the PhilaU Women’s Soccer Team and becoming CACC Champions? It’s unreal. This team is so unbelievably talented and bring the underdogs of this tournament made it that much better. We surprised so many people. We also got past the first round of the NCAA divison II tournament, and we’re making history. Together. It could not be any better.
