It’s great to be a Valiant!
First of all, thank you to each of you who supported the Valiant Challenge last week. We raised over $90,000 for our athletic teams! Thank you also for coming out and supporting our teams and dance clubs at Red Madness; it was a huge success.
For the first time EVER, all of our Fall teams have secured a playoff spot!!
Women’s Tennis finished the regular season undefeated in conference, earning the No. 1 overall seed in the upcoming Skyline Conference Tournament. That tournament begins today at 3 p.m. If you need a break, I encourage you to walk over to the courts for semifinal tournament action this afternoon.
Men’s Soccer earned the No. 2 overall seed in the upcoming Skyline Conference Tournament and will host a semifinal game next week.
Field Hockey earned either the No. 3 or 4 overall seed in their Atlantic East Tournament and will play their semifinal game on the road Saturday, November 2. (seeding TBD after this evening’s game)
Women’s Soccer earned the No. 6 overall seed in the upcoming Skyline Conference Tournament and will be traveling for a Quarterfinal match on Saturday, November 2
Women’s and Men’s Cross Country will compete in the Skyline Conference Championship at Bethpage State Park on Sunday, November 3
Women’s Volleyball still has a few games to play, but it is currently undefeated in conference play and guaranteed the No. 1 or 2 seed in the Skyline Conference Tournament.
We have a very exciting and busy two weeks ahead of us, and I encourage you, and your teams, to support our student-athletes as they compete to defend and win their conference championships this week.
