The Mules said goodbye to six seniors who helped transform the program from perennial doormats to a team capable of competing against the section's top sides.

The Solanco girls soccer team ended its home schedule on a positive note, downing Lebanon 4-2.
"It was an emotional night as the seniors were honored during their final home game," said coach Ken Yoder. Molly Briggs, Rauna Curry-Saner, Taylor Fabian, Alexis Garnica, Emily Hobbs, and Katie Kreider each played their last home game. "It was great to get a win for the seniors during their last home game," said Yoder. The Solanco field hockey team lost three games last week.
