Lydia Van Cott and Anabel Van Cott have been named among the top 30 girls' tennis players for the fall 2024 season.

The Colonials are led by Dave Pia, a two-time USTA “Coach of the Year” and 13-time “Coach of the Year.” Last season, they secured their third consecutive league championship and reached the final four in the playoffs for the third consecutive year. This marks nine times out of twelve years that they have achieved this feat, including winning a county title in 2014. The team has started their current season with two decisive victories (7-0) over Comsewogue and East Islip.
