Massapequa Chiefs Girls Soccer is certainly not a stranger to victory. Within the past two years, Girls Soccer has won back to back state championship titles, leaving many hopeful of the upcoming season. As the 2015 season approaches, the returning members of last year’s team and their new underclassmen are preparing for a threepeat.

It is undeniable that Girls Soccer is a strong program with even stronger team chemistry. “In the season we’re a family, there’s no other way to describe it,” Massapequa High School senior and soccer player Olivia Rohrecker said.

This tightly knit atmosphere will play a crucial part in helping “The Tribe”— the adopted name of the team—get to the State Championship for the third year in a row. “We constantly look out for each other and motivate one another in order to achieve the results we strive for,” Rohrecker said.

A lot of the team chemistry is owed to the amount of time the senior class has been playing together. As a result, it will be difficult for seniors to make peace with the fact that that this year is their final season as Chiefs.  Senior Skye Vitiello recalls that her and her teammates “took our first touch of a soccer ball together” at just four years old. Vitiello, along with the rest of the seniors, plan on making every second count with her best friends.

Yet the season will not be too quick as the girls have serious business to attend to. It is clear the Chiefs are out to claim their third consecutive state title and to do so, they must be extremely focused. The team plans on working hard each practice to figure out how to utilize each other’s strengths and help them play as a unit. By doing this, the Chiefs will be even stronger against their opponents.

With such incredible talent and strong team chemistry, the 2015 Chiefs soccer team is ready to make even more history for the program. “We made history when we won two times in a row and winning a third would not only be a personal accomplishment, but a great achievement as a team and program,” Vitiello stated when asked what a third state title would mean to her. Rohrecker added that “for the program, it would mean we would make even more history than we did last year, and that goes to show what an incredible girls soccer program Massapequa possesses.”
