GOAT of the Game

Our GOAT of the game for Hudson Valley was sophomore captain Franziska Moderegger from Germering, Germany. Franny scored a goal in her final home game and played her best game of the season. Her passing and aggressivness helped set up several Saints scoring opportunities in our 6-0 win. Franny has been a makor part of our program for two seasons and we are certainly going to miss her when she is gone. Thank you Franny for two outstanding seasons. We love you and wish you all the best in your future!
