Scarsdale Sends Three to Soccer Sectional Award Dinner

On Monday evening, November 14, three Scarsdale varsity A girls soccer players were honored at the 2016 All Section awards dinner at Colonial Terrace in Cortlandt Manor, NY. The dinner is an annual event each fall that recognizes the top high school female soccer players in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties. Each player who is honored has her name called, receives a plaque and a brief synopsis of the player's strengths as a soccer player, typically written by her high school coach, is read aloud. 2016 was another successful season for Scarsdale's girls varsity A soccer team, with a second consecutive league championship followed by a tough 1-0 loss against North Rockland in the first round of the playoffs. For the Raiders, Sophia Mohlulis and Allison Stafford were each named All Section and Kate Donovan received All Section honorable mention. For Donovan and Mohlulis, both seniors, it was their second time being honored at the awards dinner, each having been named All Section honorable mention as juniors in 2015. For Stafford, a sophomore and one of only a small number of underclassmen to be named All Section, it was her first award. Accompanied by varsity high school coach Mindy Genovese and assistant coach Kiera Fox, it was a proud and enjoyable evening for the players, the coaches and their parents.
