Goalkeeper Cailyn O’Hara anchored the backline, asserting her squad’s status as the state’s premier defensive unit. “I think we are the best defense in the state,” O’Hara stated. “There’s no argument about that. And we proved it.” This performance reinforces St. Joseph’s dominance, as they remain No. 1 in the Class LL/L state coaches poll and have not lost a game this season, finishing with a 16-0-2 record.
This victory marks the second consecutive FCIAC tournament championship for St. Joseph and their fourth title in the last five years. The Cadets have now appeared in the league finals for five straight seasons, accumulating eight total league banners. With Ridgefield sitting third in the rankings, St. Joseph enters the state playoffs as the clear favorite to extend their historic run.
