Girls Soccer: The most successful team in fall sports so far has been the varsity girls soccer team. Out to an amazing 13-3-1 start to the year, the girls sit in second place in the NJIC Colonial Division. Young talent has been a key component of the Panthers success this season as freshman Nicole Crane leads the team in points with 31 (10 goals and 11 assists), and sophomore Ryan Doyle leads the team with 11 goals. The Panthers only defeats have come to state powerhouse Immaculate Heart Academy (IHA), Pascack Valley, and rival Hawthorne who boasts a record of 13-2. In their second meeting of the season, Hawthorne entered the game 13-0, yet the Panthers prevailed, and handed Hawthorne their first loss of the season. Along with the outstanding offense, the Panthers have relied on their experienced defense to help lead the way. Senior captains Jillian Luftman, and Sophia Pappalardo have been the anchors of the defense this season, as Pappalardo produced an eye popping 12 shutouts in goal over the Panthers first 16 games. The Panthers finish up the regular season this week, with two more games, both on Thursday (vs. Pascack Valley) and Friday (at Garfield). Lastly, the girls are set to open their state tournament run at home as the No. 2 seed Tuesday, Nov. 2 vs. No. 15 seed Midland Park.
