Boys' Soccer
More than a dozen former Mercersburg soccer players are playing at the NCAA Division I, II, and III levels, as well as in the NAIA.
The varsity team is a regular presence in the Pennsylvania Independent Schools Athletic Association (PAISAA) state tournament. The 2014 squad won the prestigious Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) championship and reached the state championship game.
The varsity plays on Steiger Field, a 75-yard x 120-yard natural-grass field that was outfitted with a new irrigation system in 2011. Teams may also train on the synthetic-turf Regents’ Field or the natural-grass Upper Field (both 70 yards x 120 yards).
In addition to its games against MAPL schools, Mercersburg plays a range of other high-profile independent-school teams from New England to Northern Virginia.
