A severe test awaits the Ridgewood High School girls soccer team Sunday in the Bergen County tournament semifinals, but this is nothing new.
The challenge comes from the nation’s No. 1 team, Northern Highlands, at 2 p.m. Sunday at River Dell High School. The Maroons have faced the unbeaten Highlanders five times in the past two seasons, winless in those occasions, but each time having presented a stout challenge.
“We’re familiar with them,” Ridgewood coach Jeff Yearing said Tuesday in mild understatement. “But we’ve been playing an advanced schedule to prepare us to play against the best. Our league [schedule] dictated that. Now, it’s a matter of course and with this team, I believe we can play with anybody. If we’re on our game, I feel confident in our ability to win.”
