Brooklyn Friends tops LREI for softball title
Grab ISAL Championship Behind Blue Pride’s ‘Core Five’
Brooklyn Friends varsity softball coach David Gardella refers to his graduating senior class — Julia Breen, Julia Cohen, Maret Smith-Miller, Airenakhue Omoragbon, Ariel Goldner and Greta Lagerberg – as the Core Five … plus one.
Now, he can call them, and the rest of the Blue Pride Panthers, the undisputed and unbeaten 2015 Independent School Athletic League softball champions.
Thanks in large part to junior hurler Taty Rosenthal’s nine-strikeout, complete-game effort last Wednesday afternoon at Randall’s Island, BFS finally got over the hump against LREI, besting their private school rivals 6-3 in the ISAL championship game.
