Dec 9 - Tis' The Season

(Suffern, NY) - Well it truly is the season.  The 2008 soccer season has concluded and the calendar year is almost over too.  2008 was another strong year for Suffern Soccer, as the Boys gathered 2 league titles while the Varsity Girls gained some sectional success.  2009 promises to be an equally good year.

As many of the senior turn their attention towards colleges, we are happy to report that Charlie Pirc will continue his soccer career at Bucknell in Pennsylvania while Stephanie Reimer will mind the nets for Northeastern in Boston.  We wish them much success and look forward to following their collegiate results over the next 4 years.  There are also a few other seniors that may play next year so stay tuned as those become official in the winter/spring months.

Lastly, Tom and Ginny Wolfe would like to thank the parents, players and Booster Club for their generous gifts during the annual dinners and for these excellent years in the program.  We look forward to following the continued success of a great group of players and coaches in the years to come.  Seth Singer will be the Booster Club President in 2009 while Bruce Miller and Karen May will be helping as treasurer.  They will do a great job and please give them your support.

But mostly: Enjoy your upcoming holidays!

Nov 18 - Final Soccer Event of 2008 Held, County Boys Senior Game at SMS

(Suffern, NY) - The last whistle has been blown for 2008.  About 30 seniors from county teams came to Suffern Middle School and played one final spirited (but fun) game.  Suffern joined teams such as Albertus Magnus, North and Ramapo and were the Red team.  The White team prevailed in the end with a 3-1 victory.  The Red team's lone goal was scored by Suffern's own Pete Zelem with a nice re-direct of a crossing pass.  Our thanks to those that manned the concession stand during the cold night!

Nov 17 - All-Section, All-League Squad for Girls Announced

(Suffern, NY) - The All-Section team was announced for the Girls earlier this week.  There was a dramatic reduction in the number of allowed players/candidates as opposed to years past.  The Girls placed one player and two honorable mention on the All-Section squad.  In addition, we had a number of All-League players. And for the 3rd year in a row, Stephanie Reimer has been nominated to the All-State squad.  Congrats to all the players on their recognition for fine play on the season.

(Suffern, NY) - These 6 Lady Lions have all contributed to significant improvement in the team in their 4 years at Suffern and are all major factors in the current team's success.  It is hard to imagine them not on the field in 2008 but the whole team and coaching staff as well as the Booster Club wishes them the very best as they advance in their studies when they leave SHS in the spring.  We truly appreciate their many contributions to make Suffern Soccer strong.  Thanks Ladies!

Nov 11 - Senior Salute - Boys

(Suffern, NY) - The following Mountie Men have seen much success in their time in Suffern Soccer and will leave a huge hole to fill next year.  With three consecutive League B titles and a record of 36-15-2 in the last three years the results are impressive to say the least. We hope to see them come back to cheer the team next year.

Congratulations to another Suffern Varsity team!

(CROSS RIVER, NY)  - Christa Baccas wanted to make regionals, and the only thing standing in her way was Arlington and a fifth game.

Baccas stepped up to the net ready to extend the Mounties' season. And with a 25-19, 15-25, 16-25, 25-23, 25-13 Section 1 Class AA championship win, Baccas and the rest of her Suffern teammates had their wish come true.

"We played so well this whole season, and we're a good team," the sophomore said. "I didn't want this to be over, I wanted to keep going. This is my first year (on the team), and I didn't want to stop."

Suffern, which has won two straight sectional titles, advanced to the state regional quarterfinals on Tuesday at Corning West High School in Painted Post at 6:30 p.m.

After opening with a win, the Mounties (19-2) needed a turnaround when they dropped the next two games and fell behind in the fourth, a season on the brink of ending.  Down by one late in the game, Melanie Cohen came in off the bench to serve and tied the score at 22-22. The Mounties took a 24-23 lead before taking the game and staying alive.

"After each point, I would go up to each girl and say 'Be confident in what you do,' " captain Rebecca Aarons said. "Their nerves were overcoming them, and they needed to stay confident."

Pulling out the fourth game gave the Mounties the needed adrenaline boost and they won the fifth game out easily thanks to serving by Aarons, Jackie Berks, Jessica Crowley and Kristin Schmidt, who got the game to 24-12. With their serving back in place, the Mounties' hitters also got more confident. Baccas had two blocks and a kill early in the game to help the Mounties gain a 10-6 lead. She led Suffern with 16 kills and six blocks. Jenna Hrycyk and Schmidt also stepped up their hitting.
