An exciting opening week of the Section 1 playoffs featured several overtime contests, some that went to penalty kicks, and others that offered a platform on which the stars flourished. Those games produced for us nine candidates for Girls Soccer Player of the Week, presented by White Plains Hospital.
The previous poll winners this season were Camryn Cassese (Eastchester), Olivia Mark (Walter Panas), Paige Neustadt (Scarsdale), Brooke Matarazzo (Tuckahoe), Bella Di Muccio (Albertus Magnus), Kayleigh Dolan (Mahopac), Jordyn Lorenz (Ossining) and Gianna Pace (Lakeland).
Read below about what the nominees accomplished last week, then cast your votes. The poll will be open until 3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28, and the winner will be featured on the lohud
sports social media accounts.
