Varsity Girls Soccer Team: A Family Affair

The North Babylon varsity girls soccer team had a true family atmosphere this past season. Three sisters – Sofia, a senior and captain, Kayla, a junior, and Brook Milheiser, a freshman – were starting players on the varsity team.

“Although it’s not unusual for sisters to play on the same varsity team, it’s unusual to have three sisters, not twins, in different grades and contribute to a 15-1-2 league championship season,” said coach Steve Corrado. The team had its first undefeated season since 1982. 

All three Milheiser sisters were starters and major contributors to the team, making up three-fifths of the team’s midfield. With five goals and an assist, Sofia will be playing soccer at Queens College next fall. Kayla had two goals and two assists, while Brook racked up 10 goals and four assists. 

“As a coach, we have had sisters on our team before but in my 19 years, we never had three sisters who were all starters,” Corrado said. He also added that a group of 11 seniors on this year’s team have been playing together since they were 6 years old in the local Patriot Soccer Club.
