Congratulations to the Girls U16 Liberty United Lady Devils team, made up primarily of students from Liberty, on its 4-3 victory at the Hudson Valley Youth Soccer League final against AYSO United Hudson Valley. Scoring and giving Liberty the lead with a hat-trick in the first half of the game was Madelyn Cavello. The opposing team evened the score in the last minute of the game. It was in stoppage time that midfielder Alexandra Galeas Osorio made the winning goal that secured the ladies’ title as champions of the Girls U16 Division. Assisting the goals with precise passes and runs were midfielders Madysen Rielly, Adriana Ponce Agredano, Milenka Tello-Pereyra, Adriana Leon Gavilan, Paola Melendez Deras and Amy Cortes. On defense were defenders Casity DiBartolo, Victoria Henry, Amaiya Williamson, and Sophia Vasko. Diving through and cutting many plays short was goalie Stephanie Gomez Nivelo. 

The team is led by Roothland Medina and assisted by Solomen Conner and Carpio Ramos. “ I want to thank the parents and the community for the support as we made our way down victory lane, Mr. Medina said. “The biggest thing we learned throughout the season was that our success did not derive from any one individual. It was forged through the bonds that we made as a team, a family, but most importantly, being there for each other, always United!”
