A little bit of info and history... |
The NYSSCOGS/New York State High School Girls Soccer Hall of Fame is an organization that is committed to honoring the region’s best and brightest in regards to high school girls soccer. Since 1990; over 25 years ago, NYSSCOGS (New York State Sportswriters and Coaches Organization for Girls Sports) has recognized numerous players, coaches, referees, administrators, and journalists, all of whom have made significant contributions to the game of high school girls soccer throughout New York. It is now time to take that acknowledgement a little bit further with the 2017 inauguration of a NYS High School Girls Soccer Hall of Fame. Our sole purpose is to highlight and promote the game’s rich history here in New York.
We welcome your comments, questions, and feedback. Feel free to contact Co-Presidents Kate & Perry L. Novak at [email protected] .

The NYSSCOGS Tournament is held in conjunction with its New York State High School Girls Soccer Hall of Fame induction ceremony. This year, the hall welcomed 16 new inductees, including Niskayuna High School graduate Kristin Scharphorn and New Lebanon grad Elizabeth Traver.
Scharphorn was the starting goaltender for Niskayuna during its rise to state prominence in the 1990s, including its state championship seasons of 1995 and 1998.
“It was such an honor, and it was incredibly special to be invited here and inducted into the Hall of Fame,” said Scharphorn.
Traver was the star player for New Lebanon when its girls soccer program started in the late 1970s. From there, she played at Yale University, where she set career records that are still on the books.
“What an incredible honor,” said Traver, who drove all the way from her home in Wyoming to attend the ceremony in person. “I’ve always loved soccer. I still kick the ball around at home. To be recognized so many years later is incredible.”
