Chances for rain and cold have delayed the start of spring for Pella Dutch varsity sports until this evening, when both soccer teams are set to brave the cold and wind for their season openers. Pella’s boys hit the road to Ankeny and the girls are at home against Winterset. Both teams have deep postseason aspirations with several key returning athletes. Varsity action at Pella High School for the girls starts at 5:30, and the boys are at 6 p.m. in Ankeny. Pella soccer fans are reminded that access to home games this year is limited to the northeast corner of the stadium off of East 13th Street due to construction.
