Latham, NY- The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) has announced venue changes for the 2026 NYSPHSAA Girls Soccer Championships, scheduled for Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15 in the Cortland area (Section III). The move is due to anticipated inclement weather and snow removal limitations if fields accumulate significant snow.

With snow expected in the area, NYSPHSAA has made the decision to relocate the affected games to maintain the same schedule of the state semifinals and finals each day.
The NYSPHSAA Girls Soccer Class C and D Championship Semifinals, originally scheduled for Saturday, November 14 at Homer High School, will now be played at Moravia High School (Section IV).

The Class C and D Championship Finals on Sunday, November 15 will be relocated to Dryden High School. Additionally, the Class AAA Championship Final will also be moved to Dryden High School.

All game times will remain unchanged.

Revised Championship Schedule:
Saturday, November 14 – Semifinals

9:30 AM	Class C: Greene (IV) vs Stillwater (2)	Moravia High School
12:00 PM	Class C: Wilson (VI) vs St. Lawrence (X)	Moravia High School
2:30 PM	Class D: Lisbon (X) vs Chazy (VII)	Moravia High School
5:00 PM	Class D: Northstar Christian (V) vs Cincinnatus (III)	Moravia High School

Sunday, November 15 – Finals

12:30 PM	Class C	Dryden High School
3:00 PM	Class D	Dryden High School

“The safety of our student-athletes, coaches, officials, and spectators remains our top priority,” said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director. “With winter weather anticipated in the area, these adjustments will help ensure appropriate playing conditions for our championship events. We appreciate the flexibility and cooperation of our host schools and participating teams as we work to provide a safe and positive championship experience.”

All other NYSPHSAA Girls Soccer Championship games will remain at their originally scheduled locations and times.
