Scorpions SC is very proud of our goalkeeping program. With that in mind, each month we have decided to recognize a current Scorpions net-minder as Keeper of the Month. Our inaugural choice for this recognition is Alexis Pimental, keeper for Scorpions 2012 ECNL team. Alexis has had a blistering start to the season, to go along with her numerous previous accolades.

"Alexis is a competitor," said Scorpions Goalkeeping Director Darren Burke. "She trains hard and is focused on improving her craft day in and day out.”
