Prior to the game, the Maccabees honored their departing senior class for all of their accomplishments. Barach, Bassalian, Gordon, Jaffe, Jennifer Shamsian and Michelle Shamsian were joined by defender and team captain Devora Braun with defenders Eden Gellman Debbie Sedaghtzandi and Eliana Levy as they were recognized by head coach Gabe Haber and the athletics department, not only for their contributions to the women’s soccer program, but to the Yeshiva community as a whole. Although their playing careers are coming to an end, they will always be part of the Maccabee family.
