The Rye Girls Soccer team capped off a zero-loss regular season with a bang on Monday, October 19, as they dominated Byram Hills 5-1 on the road. The Garnets locked up an undefeated league championship for the second year in a row thanks to their complete effort against the Bobcats in the regular season finale.
Charlotte Keenan opened the scoring after Ryann O’Donnell’s initial shot on goal created a juicy rebound. Eleanor Pandl and Harkin Brown closed out the first-half scoring. Defender Ella Fleckton, whom coach Rich Savage praised after the contest, drew an assist on the Brown tally.
In the second, the Garnets continued to push, as Keenan earned the brace and Shira Rand – who assisted on Keenan’s secon tally – rounded out the offense on a late penalty kick. Mae Haesslein picked up the start in goal recorded five saves to secure the shutout.
Rye (14-0-2) can now set their sights on the postseason, where they should be in line to host two home playoff contests in their quest to repeat as New York State champions.
