With over 80 girls representing teams from PS 33, PS 11, PS 77, PS 59, PS 116, PS 281, PS 111, PS 10, PS 139 and Basis Independent Manhattan the energy was electric and the all girls atmosphere created strong team spirit and highly motivated players. This was our largest All Girls contingent in program history!

Not only did we show up with strength in numbers, we also showed up prepared to win! Lower Lab was crowed the K -3 All Girls State Champions while Chelsea Prep was awarded the title of K - 6 All Girls State Champions!

Additionally PS 139 claimed 1st place in the K - 6 U 900 section and both PS 11 and PS 10 enjoyed 2nd place finishes in the K-6 Championship and K-6 U 900 sections respectively.
