The Vancouver Victory, a women’s soccer club featuring college and former college players, is playing in a new league this summer
The club, in its seventh season, will play in the Women’s Premier Soccer League, along with clubs such as Seattle Reign 2 and the Portland Thorns 2. The Victory’s first home match is Sunday at Harmony Sports Complex in east Vancouver.
