Prescott, last year’s WDN Female Soccer Player of the Year, is having another solid year for the Pam Pack (6-5, 4-3 Coastal Conference). She has tallied 12 goals her senior season, coming after netting 32 her junior year and 26 as a sophomore.
Prescott, who wears No. 10 for Washington, is hoping her play will help the Lees-McRae Bobcats next year. The Bobcats, who play in the Conference Carolinas, went 5-15 during the fall season. The team also plays a limited number of games in the spring.
