PAWTUCKET — With Saint Raphael Academy celebrating 50 Years of Women along with its centennial this year, it seems almost destined that the girls sports teams would do something spectacular. Not only did the girls soccer team win 4-3 against Exeter-West Greenwich for the Division III state title, but they did so backed by an unbeaten conference record of 19-0. The team and school community celebrates their first state title in 16 years.
Ranked as the Number 1 seed in the playoffs, the team successfully took out the competition, game-by-game: Providence Country Day, Narragansett, and then Exeter- West Greenwich . They completed the post-season with a 21-1 record overall and 21-0 in Division III.
St. Raphael Academy says goodbye to seniors Janjay Barnard, Karina Contreras, Dazayah Cosme, Brianna Deschenes, Maylan Fernandes, Skylar Koscielski, Stephanie Sassi and Paige Troiano.
