PK Yonge Girls Soccer knows how to win in more ways than one.
On the field, the Blue Wave orchestrated another successful season and hope to finally go over the hump and advance to states.
For the Athlete of the Week poll, PK fans showed out big time.
A Blue Wave soccer player won the Athlete of the Week for the second straight week. Last week, Faith Hardy took the crown.
This week, it is Norah Pancoast, winner for January 29-February 4.
