Girls Soccer
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Shoreham-Wading River girls soccer coach Adrian Gilmore.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, players, and the entire Shoreham-Wading River school community during this difficult time.
Coach Gilmore’s impact on her students and the game will never be forgotten.
Congrats to North Babylon’s Monica Clavijo for making the U17 Colombian National Team! ⚽️

On October 18, the stands of Hauppauge High School’s turf field were a sea of pink as the entire school community supported the 17th annual Kicks for Cancer event, which raised around $50,000.
Kicks for Cancer began as a way to honor and support a Hauppauge High School student, Courtney Tomkin, who was diagnosed with brain cancer at age 17. The summer after Courtney was diagnosed, Hauppauge High School’s girl’s varsity soccer goalkeeper, Alexis Gonzalez, went to her coach, Jessica Kulesa, asking how the team could put something together to help Courtney and her family. From that conversation, Kicks for Cancer was born.
Under the Friday night lights, Hauppauge roared with thunderous applause as the girls’ and boys’ varsity soccer teams took to the field wearing special pink uniforms. The boy’s team played Eastport-South Manor Junior-Senior High School, and the girl’s team competed against Comsewogue High School.
Food trucks and tents filled with homemade gift items, food, and Kicks for Cancer gear lined the field. Supporters enjoyed several activities before and during the soccer games, including bounce houses and raffle prizes. The event proceeds went toward research and finding a cure in Courtney’s memory.
Imagine not losing a match in nearly 1,100 days. That’s the situation for Ward Melville girl’s soccer right now.
After another undefeated regular season – 14-0-1 – they are 50-0-7 since the 2022 season. They have won two state titles during that stretch.
They recently bested Nassau County’s South Side High School’s streak of 56 games from 1999-2002 to close out the regular season.
The Patriots will look to add to their historic run this week as the Section XI girl’s playoffs kick off.
Section XI boys and girls soccer playoff brackets are available.
All playoff soccer matches begin on October 28.
Congratulations to Northport girls soccer coach Aija Gipp on earning her 200th career victory!
Congratulations to North Babylon’s Jenna Biondo on becoming the program’s all-time leading scorer. She has now scored 51 career goals since 2021 and counting …
Shoutout to Smithtown West for hosting another incredible “Play 4 The Cure Memorial Game”!
It was a powerful evening filled with unity, inspiring tributes, and a strong commitment to raising awareness for cancer research.
Thank you to all the student-athletes, supporters, and community members for coming together to make a difference. Let’s keep up the fight against cancer!
