After knocking off Region III A Division III top seed Herkimer Community College by the score of 1-0 to win the school’s first regional championship since the early 1980’s the Lady Cougars have broken into the top 10 national rankings, currently at 7th. The ranking matches the highest in school history for the women’s soccer program.

Head Coach Kelly Gillow has done an impressive job turning the Lady Cougars around this season after a slow start earning her Region III Division III Coach of the Year honors, along with three players being named to the All-Region Teams. Forward Chelsea Williams (Brockport, NY) was named to the All-Region 1st Team, while Forward Jessie Jaszko (Batavia, NY) and Midfielder Dzindzi Asamoah-Wade (Rochester, NY) were each named to the All-Region 2nd Team.

The Lady Cougars will head to the district playoffs to take on Holyoke Community College this Saturday, November 7th.
