Girls Field Hockey
Girls Field Hockey - Ms. Kozimor / Mrs. LeViere
Field Hockey beat Chester last week 8-0. Cassidy North scored 3 of the goals and assisted 2, Ellie Sacco scored 2 goals, Lexi Buchanan scored 1 goal and assisted 2, Tilly Vazuez scored a goal and Anabel Capello scored 1 goal and notched 1 assist. Goalie Ashlyn Savage started the season with her first shutout. Great team effort girls!
Field Hockey has a game today home vs. West Essex. Good Luck!
Girls Soccer
Girls Soccer - Mr. Demarest
The girls soccer team lost to Chester yesterday by the score of 2-0. The Lady Panthers came out of the gate firing and had Chester immediately under pressure but Chester caught Long Valley on a quick counterattack and split the defense to take an early lead. Chester added a 2nd goal before the half, again splitting the defense. Long Valley had a much better 2nd half but just could not put it together in the final 3rd of the field and put anything past the Chester goalkeeper.
Girls soccer will practice today after school from 3:30-5pm.
Boys Soccer
The boys soccer team won a thrilling game versus Chester last week by a score of 4-3. The Panthers jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first 7 minutes thanks to Vasyl Goncharuk's two goals and Aidan Heike's one. After Chester clawed back into the game to get within a goal, Daniel Lopes put it away with his first goal of the season. Other Panthers who had solid games include Dean Cabelo and Griffin Veletto, who were both relentless in the midfield.
Upcoming Schedule
Wednesday - Practice until 5:00.
Friday - Home game versus Bernardsville (kickoff at 4:00)
