Ridgewood girls soccer maintains form despite stadium field closure
Summary

The Ridgewood girls soccer team is navigating the temporary loss of its home stadium due to safety test failures and flooding. Despite the displacement, the program remains unbeaten through two matches, including a 4-0 win over Northern Highlands and a 1-1 draw against Immaculate Heart. Players and staff have rotated training sessions across various local fields while coordinating logistics with other school sports. The district initiated a 10-day remediation project on September 8 intended to restore the stadium turf for the current season. Coaching staff credits the team’s ability to remain competitive to a consistent focus on play execution despite the irregular venue schedule.
