Ward Melville Girls Win Streak

After 101 consecutive wins, the Ward Melville girls’ team looks to continue their streak. Despite a growing level of talent in the Suffolk County area, the Ward Melville girls have not lost since 2001. They have started the season strong, but they have yet to fence their toughest three opponents: Newfield, Centereach and Huntington. Newfield coach Don Bahr says the Melville matches provide extra motivation to his team, and Huntington assistant coach Alan Kuver says it’s important not to go in thinking like you’ll be another notch in triple digit win streak. The team to come closest to dethroning the Melville girls’ squad is Centereach which tied the Melville team for the 2005 championship. Centereach Coach Glenn Schnabel says “Really, if you want to be competitive, you have to fence year round. You need nine girls who are willing to do it in the offseason, and then you need nine girls who are going to be together for a few years.”
