Graduation has hit the Newburgh Free Academy boys’ and girls’ soccer team’s hard after the 2023 season, and both will head into the 2024 season with young rosters.

The girls’ team will enter the season without the source of most of its offense from past seasons. The Goldbacks have lost all-time leading scorer Marina Parodo, who is now playing at Sacred Heart, and Juliana Leonard, now playing at Manhattan College due to graduation. They also have lost Damaris Moran, Malia Robinson, and Michelle Prado.

“We are looking to rebuild after losing 11 players to graduation,” Newburgh girls’ coach Dave Doulin said. “With a mix of new players and some experienced returners, we hope to compete for a place in the Section 9 Class AAA tournament.”

The experienced returners include midfielder/forward Riley Frederick, midfielder/defender Taylor Morrill, defender Madison Foti, forward Julia Lopez, and midfielder Emily Leonard. New players looking for a place to fit in include midfielder/goalkeeper Ella Henderson, forward Genesis Merlin Hernandez, and midfielder Keylin Aleman.
