WHAT’S NEWS IN ROSS TOWNSHIP LA ROCHE WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM TRAVELS TO ITALY AND SPAIN What’s the connection between the La Roche women’s soccer team’s unforgettable trip to Italy and Spain and summer soccer camps? An important one, as it turns out. The team needed to raise 100 percent of the trip’s cost, and their work at the camps provided most of that money. Head coach Miguel Lozano oversees the camps, and his players earn money by assisting the licensed coaches. Lozano’s childhood in Spain shapes the camp philosophy. “We played soccer in the street. We got better because we weren’t afraid to make mistakes,” he says. “We learned the rules because we used them during the games. The game is the best teacher.” NORTH PITTSBURGH QUILTERS GUILD QUILT SHOW COMING IN APRIL The NPQG quilt show is a biennial event and will be held April 24-26 at the Ross Township Community Center.
