The Girl’s Varsity Soccer Team at Buckingham Browne and Nichols Schools is a part of the Independent School League (ISL) as well as the New England Prep School Athletic Conference (NEPSAC) Class “A” Division.

The BB&N Girls’ Varsity Soccer Team is looking forward to another challenging season after a 19–1 record and facing tough competition en route to winning another NEPSAC and ISL Championship. After losing some rockstar seniors, our other exceptional players are ready to fill their shoes and take on another season of stiff competition any try to win a third-straight NEPSAC and ISL crown.

Following their preseason, the team will compete in the very challenging ISL conference filled with top college talent. The non-league schedule is equally impressive featuring many other top NEPSAC schools. The 2023 opponents will come from three of the six New England states. The roster will rely on all four classes to compete with all opposition.
