Women's Soccer Wins Third Straight Women's Soccer Title

On the soccer pitch, the Mighty Oaks women's soccer team won its third straight league title, upending Albany Pharmacy 3-0.

Regular-season champion Albany Pharmacy raced past No. 4 seed New Rochelle, 13-0, in the first semifinal and ESF defeated No. 3 King's, 3-0, in a rematch of last year's semifinal to set up the finals showdown.

Similar to the 2-1 double-overtime loss in the regular season, ESF scored early with a Lindsay Eberhart goal just 4:20 into the contest. A close opening 45 minutes saw limited opportunities for both squads and the Mighty Oaks carried a 1-0 lead at the intermission. The second half saw play open up, with shots 10-3 in favor of the Mighty Oaks, and insurance goals in the 52nd and 65th minutes by junior Alyssa Hughes and senior Rachel Truska helped seal the team's third straight title.

For her efforts in the midfield leading to no goals surrendered in the tournament, senior Sarah Wohlfahrt was named Tournament MVP.
