Sports Teams Prepare for Annual Ligonier Tournament

The Girls' Varsity Field Hockey and Boys' Varsity Soccer teams are preparing for the annual trip to Ligonier, Pennsylvania for the Valley School of Ligonier Invitational Soccer and Field Hockey Tournaments on October 18. The Ligonier Tournament has been the highlight of the Upland fall sports schedule since 1988, when the Varsity Boys' Soccer Team first participated.

The Girls' Varsity Field Hockey Team hopped on the bus and headed to western PA for their first Ligonier Tournament in 1990. Both teams have won the tournament several times, bringing home both trophies in 2006. The girls repeated their win last year.

The Girls' Field Hockey Team are making steady progress this year with one win and a number of tie games.

Team captains are Erin Nolan and Hattie Waldron.

This Boys' Soccer Team is looking strong this year with a 5-1-1 record so far.

Team captains will be announced next week.

Plans for a pep rally/black and gold day are underway sometime before the teams depart on October 17. The pep rallies have become an all-school tradition in recent years and a great way for everyone to get into the spirit and support Upland's teams.
