The team has welcomed 9 new players this year, including freshmen Gia Asen, Leah Brown and Salma Sherrell. The new sophomore players are Lilly Tessler and Caitlyn Wu, while the new juniors are Abby Etra, Emilia Gomez, and Drew Frank. Senior Mykaela Madoff is also new to the team this fall.

In their most recent game against Ursuline on 9/23, the girls walked away with a 6-2 win. Alison Kahn scored the opening goal putting the girls up 1-0. Freshman Leah Brown then netted the second goal of the game, bringing the score to 2-1. Next senior Molly Klein and junior Ivy Boockvar scored 2 consecutive goals, assisted respectively by Olivia Lee and Leah Brown. The girls ended the game with 2 more goals from junior Brady Silberfein and senior Olivia Lee.

The girls have had a very successful season so far, with 6 wins, 1 tie to John Jay East Fishkill, and 1 heavy loss to New Rochelle. Captains Lizzie Wachs, Ella Sherrell, Olivia Lee, and Molly Klein have undeniably led the team admirably. “The captains and I are really proud of how well the team has been doing so far and we’re excited to see how the season is going to end. We have a good chance in playoffs so we’re working extra hard during practices and games to meet that expectation!” says captain and senior Olivia Lee.
