| | ‘A beautiful game’: Rochester’s new pre-professional women’s soccer team has big goals |
There's a new soccer team in Med City. As Rochester's first pre-professional women's team prepares for its season opener, the Rochester FC Loons have drawn talent from near and far.
“When you see the game put together and all the passes and when you make beautiful plays, like it's just a very, very, very beautiful game. That's why I'm playing that's why I'm playing the sport because of that right there.”
The Loons play the Milwaukee Bavarians at 4 p.m. Sunday at Rochester Community and Technical College. You can find out more online at Rochester FC. | |
