Helping deliver the semifinal shutout win were defenders Bridget Richer and Maya Celaj from Briarcliff, Maddie Adler from Chappaqua, and Jenna Daly from Mahopac along with attacker Isabelle Tola from Ossining and semifinal goal scorers Hailey Dubbioso of North Salem and Erin Daly from Mahopac.

Owen Scully, Briarcliff HS Girls Varsity Championship Coach and Perfect Touch Soccer Academy Director of Coaching, stated, “This is an amazing accomplishment for this team and a testament to their hard work. For Briarcliff to have a local premier program that delivers these kind of results is wonderful. We are very pleased with the growth and success achieved by our Academy teams in our first few years and we look forward to continued success.”

Also of note, following the lead of the Perfect Touch Soccer Academy Girls U13 team, Perfect Touch’s Girls U12 team has also advanced to the NY State Cup Semifinals and are presently ranked as a top 20 team.
