2. Unfortunately, the soccer season ended abruptly for the Pflugerville boys' team against College Station, while that team is now advancing to the playoffs. The loss occurred when "Zach Dang broke a scoreless deadlock by heading home a header off a corner kick with less than two minutes left in the match." Pflugerville coach Michael Nave said, “You win some that way, too, so it all comes around.” For more on this story visit: (Austin American-Statesman)
