Amity girls soccer delivered a dominant performance Wednesday night at Ken Strong Stadium, dismantling Hand 6-0 to claim the Suburban Catholic Conference (SCC) championship. The decisive victory capped a flawless regular season where the Spartans remained unbeaten, extending their dominance with three consecutive wins in the league tournament. This triumph marks a historic milestone for the program, ending a two-decade drought as Amity secures its first SCC title since 2006.
Olivia Huber’s MVP performance powers Spartans to first league title since 2006
The offensive surge was led by Olivia Huber, who earned the SCC Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player award with a double-double of two goals and two assists. Huber’s clinical finishing was instrumental in breaking Hand’s defense, while the team’s collective discipline ensured they never allowed the opponent a chance to settle on the ball. Coach Owen Quigley emphasized the team’s commitment to executing their role as the No. 1 seed, noting that the squad performed with the intensity and precision required to close out the season against a resilient Hand team.
The achievement is particularly notable given the absence of star forward Maggie Kershnar, a 2025 GametimeCT First Team all-state selection who is out for the season with a knee injury and will commit to UConn next year. Despite the loss of their top scorer, Amity (15-1-3) demonstrated depth and resilience, including three victories over Mercy, a perennial powerhouse in the conference. The Spartans’ ability to navigate the gauntlet without their key player underscores the program’s strength and sets a high bar for their future competitive outlook.
