The ever-improving Lady Ram volleyball team is winding down its regular season on a high note by winning a deuce, beating crosstown rival Blind Brook away and Scarsdale B at home last week, winning both matches in close four-set matches. But winning like that in crunch time is a positive sign that the Vballers keep getting better under new coaches Juanita Mitchell and Jenna Lividini after years of ups and downs.

The Trojans took a brutal loss at Albertus Magnus last Friday night, Oct. 15. A playoff run that was looking so sweet sadly turned sour. The Trojans, coming off an incredible run, ran into a very good team in Albertus Magnus. The Trojans were not only playing at Albertus Magnus’s homecoming but without many of their star players due to injury. It was an unlucky and upsetting loss for the Trojans.

It was standing room only for those looking through the glass outside the Carver Center indoor pool off Westchester Avenue.

With the season finally coming to an end, the Blind Brook girls’ soccer team can look back on a season full of teamwork, perseverance, and diligence. In the last few weeks, the Lady Trojans faced multiple teams across the section for a rematch.

The long-awaited playoffs have finally arrived. All the practices, games, and hard work put in this season have accumulated into this week. With a 10 seed and 7-9 record, the Blind Brook varsity soccer team has an equal chance of winning or losing in the playoffs. With their first game on Thursday, Oct. 21 against Pleasantville, a competitor of relatively equal skill, Blind Brook will surely be challenged. 

It came down to the last two games of the regular season, and the Port Chester Lady Rams soccer team wound up winning the league championship in one of the closest finishes ever despite losing the finale by a single goal to Ossining, the team they ended up beating for the title.

Not everybody gets a chance to chase their dream, let alone experience catching up with it, even if it means sharing that dream with someone else.

As the regular season comes to an end, the Blind Brook Trojans maintain promising upcoming games and playoffs. 

The Lady Rams volleyball team keeps making progress, but it is a long way from beating the Scarsdale B team last week to being competitive against White Plains, one of the top ranked teams in Westchester, Tuesday (10/12).

Call it fate, karma, providence, luck or good fortune, but the unpredictable soccer ball has begun bouncing Port Chester's way after a few seasons when it was the other way around.
