Sarah stated that the hardest transition that she had to go through heading from high school to college was, “Balancing my classes with missing classes for soccer.” Emilie echoed that, stating “I would agree with Sarah. Balancing school and swimming [was the most difficult part].”

Herding cats is never an easy thing as CV discovered on Wednesday night. Many fans on both sides came out to see the North Penn-Mansfield Tigers tangle with the Cowanesque Valley Indians for the semi-final game of the Northern-Tier League showdown.
