The new season for the Girls Varsity Soccer team has begun. Along with coaches Phil Goldberg and Andy Schneider, Captains Kate Beale, Alyssa Fleming, Liz Liguori, Kate Schamberger and Kerri Spiess, everyone worked hard to get ready for the upcoming schedule. The first game was against Cold Spring Harbor (B Finalists and State Champions for many years). Although the Island Trees girls dominated throughout the contest, they ended up on the short end, losing 3-1. However, the girls played very well and created many scoring opportunities.
