The Knoxville Girls Soccer Squad hopes to make a run through the postseason starting today. The Panthers travel to Pella Christian for the 1st round of the class 1A regional. The two teams met on May 3rd with the Eagles getting a hard fought 1-0 victory in Knoxville. Panthers Coach Matt Rictchhart tells KNIA/KRLS Sports Pella Christian has improved throughout the season, and the Little Hawkeye Conference is a reason.

Ritchhart:
“They played Pella 3-0 and that;s better than what we played Pella. They have a good coach and the Little Hawkeye Conference grinds you, you have to decide are you going to get better or are you going to crumble, and they’ve decided to get better. I think it’s a toss up and we’ll have to see what happens.”

Ritchhart adds in the last game, the Eagles played Panthers leading goal scorer Taylor Jones well and did not allow her to score. Tonight’s match is scheduled to begin at 6:00 at Pella Christian High School.
