Blind Brook girls volleyball is on an absolute tear, making a huge statement for Top Team of the Week after dropping three straight wins this past week! The poll is officially live to pick the Lower Hudson Valley’s best varsity team for the period from October 5 to October 11, and if you thought picking a winner was gonna be easy this time around, think again! We’ve got some serious contenders making their case with incredible performances.
Volleyball Powerhouses Are Showing Up Big
Let’s talk about Blind Brook girls volleyball, because they went 3-0 during the week. They swept Rye Neck in a home and home series, then topped Woodlands 3-1 in their Teacher Appreciation Game. Get this, sophomore outside hitter Annabel Rosenfeld picked up her 500th career kill in that Woodlands match! That’s a massive achievement. The team even went 4-2 in pool play at the Pelham tournament before falling in the semifinals to Maria Regina. They are absolutely on fire.
And you can’t sleep on Woodlands girls volleyball either. They had a four-match winning streak before hitting that Blind Brook game, then bounced back with another victory. They’re sitting strong with a 7-4 record. Angelina Delgado was putting up HUGE numbers, snagging 28 digs, 14 assists, and seven kills against Albertus Magnus. She followed that up with 26 digs, 13 assists, and two aces against Blind Brook. That’s some serious talent showing out.
Soccer Teams Bringing the Offense and the Defense
Hendrick Hudson girls soccer absolutely dominated, grabbing league wins over Westlake, Irvington, and Sleepy Hollow. They outscored their opposition a ridiculous 15-3 over those three games! Kinsley Steinhiser, Bridget Couch, Julianna Povella, and Skyler Selkin were in on 14 of those 15 goals. Talk about team effort! That kind of offensive explosion makes them a huge threat for the weekly honor.
Salesian boys soccer also had a stellar week with a clean 3-0 win over St. Peter’s. Zachary Mansour bagged an awesome hat trick, scoring all three goals! And Maxim Rauchman held it down in goal, keeping a perfect clean sheet. That’s how you get things done on both sides of the ball.
Championship Wins and Clutch Saves
Mahopac girls cross country literally ran their way to a title, winning the Section 1 League E championship meet at Croton Point Park. Senior Kira Waring didn’t just win, she *dominated* the 5,000-meter race with an insane time of 19:09.55! Pure individual dominance that lifted her whole team.
And White Plains field hockey showed their grit. They shut out Rye 1-0, with Olivia Doria scoring the winning goal, assisted by McKenna Austin. But the real standout was Mila Tomlin in goal, who was a brick wall with 10 saves in that shutout! Even in a tough 2-0 loss to state powerhouse Mamaroneck, Tomlin still grabbed 10 saves. This team is 8-4 and has some serious defensive power.
So, who’s your pick? With all these insane performances, it’s gonna be tough to decide. This weekly poll is open right now, but it closes Tuesday, October 13, at 3 p.m. Make sure your vote counts for Top Team of the Week!
