Congratulations to McAuley’s Varsity Soccer Team for recently being featured as one of the Forecaster newspaper’s “Top Five Fall Sports Stories” for their postseason success.

Sports Writer, Michael Hoffer, crafted the following about the McAuley Lions:

Prior to this fall, the McAuley girls’ soccer team hadn’t enjoyed a winning season since 2002 or a playoff berth since 2003.  The Lions won their first three games, started 4-1-2 and even after cooling down after being decimated by injuries, managed to earn the final postseason spot at 6-5-3.  McAuley was ousted by Windham in the Western A preliminary round, but produced three league all-stars and set the stage for future success.

The McAuley community looks forward to seeing these future successes unfold!  Kudos to all who contributed to this impressive season!
