The report says Hewitt has added three assists since returning to school competition after missing the previous season through injury. Her scoring total is the headline figure in a crowded race, but the limited assist return could leave room for players with a stronger creative contribution to challenge her.
Ava Illuzzi of Secaucus is the closest scoring rival, with a reported 35 goals and five assists. Her output surged during three consecutive wins against Lodi, Weehawken and Pompton Lakes, including seven goals in the victory over Pompton Lakes.
Thalia Sosa has reportedly scored 33 goals and supplied 12 assists for Harrison. She has also recorded nine matches with at least three goals, combining volume scoring with a creative return that strengthens her challenge to Hewitt.
Illuzzi’s Secaucus teammate Julia Pozo is another attacking standout. The report credits her with 26 goals and seven assists, including five goals against Becton on September 11 and seven in a 12-1 win over Hudson Catholic.
The race extends beyond the leading scorers. Suri Kon helped Emerson Boro open with 13 straight wins, contributing 13 goals and 16 assists. Adalynn Incorvaia of Waldwick has reportedly added 14 goals and 11 assists.
Among defensive players, Ella Perrapato has recorded seven goals and four assists for Hasbrouck Heights. Rylee Judge of Pompton Lakes has made 244 saves in 15 matches, while Julia Webster has registered 137 saves for Waldwick.
As the conference season reaches its decisive stage, Hewitt’s 42-goal platform is formidable. The final storyline will be whether Sosa’s balance, Illuzzi’s scoring bursts or the goalkeeping and defensive contributions can shift the vote.
