Mount Academy's girls soccer team wins another Section 9 title with a 4-⁠0 shutout

Mount Academy's sectional run reached another title

2021–22Mount Academy won back-to-back state Class D championships.
2023The Eagles won their third straight Section 9 title after moving up to Class C.
2024–25The Eagles won consecutive Section 9 titles in Class B.
2025The Eagles finished 19-0 and reached the state semifinals.
Oct. 31The Eagles beat Our Lady of Lourdes 4-0 in the Class A final.

Sources: My Hudson Valley, Mid Hudson News

If you follow Section 9 sports, Mount Academy had a big week. The second-seeded Eagles beat top-seeded Our Lady of Lourdes 4-0 in the Class A girls soccer final Saturday, Oct. 31, at Wallkill High School. Sophiat Hassan scored twice, and Carina Page and Temitope Adejumo added goals.

It's a familiar spot. Mid Hudson News looks back at the program's run: state Class D titles in 2021 and 2022, then sectional titles in Class B, then an unbeaten 2025. This year's team did it without star striker Brooke Huleatt, who scored 100 goals last season and is now a freshman at Harvard.

State soccer: Mount faces the Section 1 champion; time and place not set
Volleyball: Mount won its fifth straight MHAL title, unbeaten in the league
Volleyball playoffs: Mount is the No. 1 seed in Section 9 Class B
Highland football: beat Spackenkill 36-29, earned a Class C title-game bye

Mount Academy's week brought a shutout and a fifth straight title

4-0: Mount Academy's win in the Class A girls soccer final
19-0: Mount Academy's girls soccer record in 2025
5: straight MHAL volleyball titles for Mount Academy

We have all seen the numbers.

“Millions of dollars spent on election advertising. I propose a bill that for every dollar donated to a politician or party 50% goes to the general fund of the jurisdiction involved. So a donation at the town, county, state etc the respective town, county, state would collect 50% for their tax base. This wouldn't stop…”
