There is a new name atop the record books at Pet-Med. At the conclusion of the fall 2025 season, Patchogue-Medford High School senior Addison Ruland officially set a new school record for career goals, marking one of the most impressive accomplishments in the history of the program. Her remarkable total of 32 career goals surpassed the long-standing previous record of 28 goals, which had been set by standout athlete Tanya Alarcon back in 1998. Breaking a record that endured for nearly three decades speaks to Addison’s consistency, determination, and elite skill level on the field.
Throughout her high school career, Addison established herself as a dynamic offensive presence capable of changing the course of a game at any moment. Her combination of speed, footwork, and field awareness made her one of the most difficult forwards for opposing teams to contain. She scored in critical moments, delivered strong performances in high-pressure situations, and served as a reliable leader for her teammates. Addison’s scoring ability consistently energized the team and elevated the level of play around her.
In addition to her on-field achievements, Addison has been recognized for her strong work ethic, sportsmanship, and commitment to team success. She has served as a role model for younger athletes in the program, demonstrating what is possible through dedication and perseverance. Coaches, teammates, and supporters have praised her leadership, noting that her influence extends far beyond the goals she scored.
