After the announcement of the newly formed NYSSCOGS/NYS Girls High School Soccer of Fame and its inaugural class, hosting the 1st ever induction ceremony and hosting a HS Tournament including 28 of the top teams in the state, everyone involved is preparing for another amazing class, ceremony and tournament (which now includes 42 teams).
“Three Times A Charm” many have said. Well, the Class of 2019 certainly defines the old saying. The class of 2019 includes some of NYS Top Coaches/Contributors AND Players. Such coaches and contributors have laid the foundation to the greatness of today’s Girls High School Soccer in New York. Some of whom helped define our sport, coach, recruit and promote some of our COUNTRY’s best players, not to mention winning numerous titles, along with 200-400 wins each! Honoree Coach Brenda Gibson was named National High School Coach of the Year in 1988 as one example. Included in another great class are former National Team Members like Farmingdale’s Lorraine Quinn to “older” graduates like Rosiland Santana-Berhalter (yes, married to Men’s National Team Head Coach Greg Berhalter) who played 4 years at UNC winning 3 National Championships with a record of 97-1-1 to current National Women’s Soccer League athletes like Bay Shore’s Jasmyne Spencer who plays for FC Reign of the NWSL and multiple HS State Champion Standout Keeper Kristin Scharphorn from Niskayuna who won 3 State Titles.
We are extremely excited once again to celebrate our amazing New York State High School Girls Soccer Hall of Fame inductees and former student-athlete GREATS.
