The Dream Team

Friday, November 15, was a day the Saratoga Springs High School Girls Varsity Soccer Team will never forget. Known as the #DreamTeam, this talented group of athletes accomplished something truly special: securing a spot in the state semifinals after a hard-fought victory over Section 3 champions Cicero-North Syracuse. This was the first time in school history, the Blue Streaks advanced this far, capping an incredible season. This historic achievement followed their thrilling 1-0 win over Shaker to capture the Section 2 Class AAA title—the first in more than 30 years.

A large part of this team’s success is rooted in the deep bonds they’ve formed over years of playing together. Many of these athletes have been teammates since their early days in Rec Soccer, through the Saratoga Wilton Soccer Club’s travel program, and now into their high school careers. Through it all, they’ve built not just a soccer team, but a sisterhood—and they proudly call themselves the #DreamTeam.

The team was sent off to the state tournament in spectacular fashion, with supporters from the Saratoga Wilton Soccer Club, the Saratoga Fire Department, the Saratoga Police Department, and even Saratoga Santa joined the send-off! Students from Saratoga High School also gathered to cheer them on, and the community came together in full force to celebrate their achievements.

The Saratoga Springs High School Girls Varsity Soccer Team ended up taking 3rd place in the state. Great job girls!
