The Patchogue-Medford girls soccer team’s playoff run ended on Oct. 25 with a 1-0 second-round loss on the road to Commack.

The match was marked by tough defense on both sides, The only goal didn’t come until 11:30 left in the second half, when Commack’s Ella Aglietti put a shot past Pat-Med goalie Madison Eddington.

Eddington, a sophomore, turned in a strong performance. She made several dramatic saves, including on a pair of penalty kicks, one in the first half and one in the second.

“She did a great job today,” Pat-Med head coach Chris Grieco said of Eddington. “She does a great job every game.”

Despite the loss, Pat-Med saw a significant improvement from last year. The Raiders finished the season at 10-5-2, compared with a mark of 5-7-1 in 2022.

“They came out fighting and left everything out on the field, which is what we asked them to do,” Grieco said of his team.
