Tuesday, June 30, 2020 1:00 AM

It was the last soccer game of the 2019-2020 season. Pershing high school’s Lady Mustangs ended their year by bending Fernley.
“They left it all on the field,” said assistant coach Eve Matuszyk, about her team of athletes. “It’s going to be hard to find a better group of girls. They played hard until the last whistle of every game regardless of the score. They cared about each other and laughed a lot.”
Last month, in a virtual graduation ceremony, the soccer team said goodbye to Kyle’ Tupa, Ana Paredes, Cassidy Burke (captain) and Haylie Leavitt, the goalkeeper. Managers Gabby Beltran and Jessica Martin also graduated with the Class of 2020.
