Park Vista Girls Soccer 2025 Recap: A Season of Growth, Grit, and Promise
Under the direction of Coach Stacy Iaciofano, the 2025 Park Vista High School Girls Soccer team experienced a season full of highs, lows, and undeniable growth. With a mix of seasoned seniors and ambitious underclassmen, the Cobras navigated a challenging schedule and unpredictable rhythm brought on by holidays, exams, and club conflicts—circumstances familiar to high school programs across the country.
Though the final record might not reflect the team's full potential, the season’s story is much more than wins and losses. It’s about leadership, rising stars, and a passionate commitment to building a strong team culture.
Standout Performers: Stars on Both Ends of the Field
Park Vista’s season was defined by the performances of several key players across the pitch. One of the most impressive stories came from freshman Emerson Colt, who took the team by storm. Playing as a forward, Emerson led the Cobras in scoring. “Her speed was unmatched,” said Coach Iaciofano, emphasizing the threat Colt posed to defenses each game.
The midfield was anchored by two talented seniors—Bianca Kauffman and Emery Scerbo. Bianca, a central midfielder, led the team in assists and constantly pushed the pace with her quick feet and sharp vision. Meanwhile, Emery, a University of North Florida (UNF) commit, brought an elite level of technical skill and soccer IQ. “She is incredible on the ball, sees the field well, and when she shot, she was dangerous,” Coach Iaciofano noted.
Defensively, Kayleigh Devery, another senior, served as the backbone at center back. Known for her ability to read the game, Kayleigh was instrumental in initiating quick transitions and shutting down opposing strikers.
A Rollercoaster Season with Moments of Brilliance
Describing the 2025 campaign as a “roller coaster,” Coach Iaciofano admitted that the team struggled with consistency. Balancing school holidays, exam periods, and travel soccer tournaments made it difficult to develop cohesion. “During the holidays, your seniors either lock in or check out,” she said. “This year’s class fell somewhere in the middle.”
Still, the Cobras found plenty of highlights to hang their hats on. Most notably, they earned a long-awaited victory over Boca Raton, a team that had bested Park Vista for years. “We finally beat Boca,” Coach Iaciofano celebrated. “We executed our plays and handled them very well.”
Perhaps the most exciting moment of the season came against Douglas High School. Trailing late in the game, Park Vista stormed back to tie it up, demonstrating the heart and fight the program is known for. “That was our best overall performance all season. They never gave up,” said Iaciofano.
Development and Depth: Young Talent Emerges
Beyond the senior leadership, the growth of sophomore Isabella Stubbs in goal was a major storyline. A year ago, Izzy was a nervous freshman. This year, she emerged as a cornerstone of the team’s defense. “She came in like a boss,” Iaciofano said with pride. “She has that look in her eyes—competitive athletes have it. She never wanted to get beat and played with pure passion.”
Coach Iaciofano’s philosophy of giving young players meaningful opportunities paid off. Her approach isn’t just about the future; it’s about the present. “I absolutely love young players,” she said. “They are excited, passionate, and want to learn.”
Quiet Yet Talented: The Senior Class Legacy
The 2025 senior class might not have been the loudest, but their presence was deeply felt. Emery Scerbo, Bianca Kauffman, and Kayleigh Devery all brought unique strengths to the squad and helped set standards for the underclassmen to follow.
“They were stronger than what our record shows,” Iaciofano emphasized. “When they were on their game, they were unstoppable.” Each senior embraced their role, leading in different ways—whether vocally, through effort, or with pure skill.
Exciting Future: A Youth Movement in Full Swing
Looking ahead, Coach Iaciofano has every reason to be excited. “I feel like next season will be a great one for reloading,” she said. “We have a great freshman class coming in and players ready to move up.”
What excites her most is the opportunity to mold these athletes. “I love bonding and building teams,” she said. “When a team becomes close, they fight for each other.”
With talented underclassmen like Emerson Colt and Isabella Stubbs returning, and JV players ready to take the next step, Park Vista has the pieces in place for a breakout year in 2026.
The Offseason Blueprint: Growth Beyond the Field
As a coach with 24 years of experience, Stacy Iaciofano continues to evolve. Her focus for the offseason includes improving strength, conditioning, and ball skills while finding new ways to keep her players engaged and motivated to play high school soccer—often overshadowed by club commitments.
“I’d like to find what excites the players to WANT to play high school soccer,” she said. That passion, she believes, starts with mindset, confidence, and team bonding.
“We need consistency and accountability. I’m a huge believer in team bonding. If they become close as a team/program, they will fight for each other and work hard together.”
Coach Iaciofano isn’t just building players—she’s building a culture.
