Captain Emma Kirk ’23 in action
The Choate girls’ varsity soccer team had a memorable season full of exciting moments and impressive victories. The team’s 15-2-1 record earned them a spot in the New England Playoff Semifinals, where they gave a strong performance before ultimately losing to Westminster. However, the team’s successes were not limited to the semifinals; they also claimed victories in the Founders League and WWNEPSSA league titles.
The season began on a high note with the team’s annual preseason trip to the Berkshires. The trip included team bonding activities and intense workouts, which helped set the stage for the team’s impressive 12-0-1 streak.
Head Coach Rick Koczak’s hard work and leadership alongside Assistant Coaches Susan Peel Farrell and Emily Kaplan were recognized, as he was named Connecticut Girls Soccer Association Coach of the Year for the Prep/Private School Division. Despite the loss in the semifinals, the team’s successes this season are a testament to the players and coaching staff’s dedication and talent. More than ever, it is evident that Choate will continue to be a dominant force in girls’ soccer for years to come.
