The team is coached by Steven Pallogudis, who is going into his fifth year with a record of 68-19-1, finishing last year at 16-2-1.
They beat Newburgh 3-0 for the Sec. IX Championship before they got knocked out of the state playoffs by John Jay.

The team will open its season on Wednesday, Sept. 3 when they host the Wizards of Washingtonville.
