Sports Highlights
Boys
Lacrosse
With
States on the line the Cavs hosted Westfield. The Cavs took 5-0 lead with
Miller scoring 1st, Solomon and Bower adding 2 goals each. The
Bulldogs scored twice. Kim made 3 straight saves before Bower added goal. Miller
had stunning goal, stealing attempted clear at midfield and firing into open
net. The game was back and forth but Yost scored off Solomon pass for 10-5
halftime lead. Bulldogs pulled to 11-7 but Olson scored and Shin scored off
faceoff. The Cavs led 14-8 after 3. The Bulldogs scored 2 quick goals and went
man-up but Eby stole pass to kill penalty. Bulldogs scored at 5:24 cutting lead
to 14-11. Stedham forced turnover stopping Bulldogs. Olson and Solomon took
beating holding ball. Solomon flung the ball skyward celebrating CAVS win and State
qualification. Shin won 14 face-offs. Kim 12 saves. Solomon 4
goals, Bower 3 goals, Miller 2 goals-4 assists.
Girls Lacrosse
After a 25-0 win in the first round of
regional playoffs, Woodson faced Centreville who boasts the highest ranked
scorer and goalie in the DC Metro area. The Cavs started strong with Logan
Dougherty (3G/1A/2GB) and Cassia Kruse (2G/1A/1DC/2GB) getting on the board,
but after five minutes the score was tied 2-2. Goals by Margaret Stephan
(2G/3DC/4GB), Meredith Mackay (1G/1A) and Natalie Gates (1G/1A/3DC) put us to
six but Centreville’s dominant attackers kept finding openings. The Cavs gained
momentum in the second half scoring five goals to get to 12-13 but after
Centreville time-out the tide went the other direction. Despite winning 77% of
draw-controls and take-aways by Emma Vinall (2G/15DC/2GB), Margaret Stephan and
Carlie Hartung (1G), and strong defense by Sydney Andes, Rachel Williams,
Georgia Rafter and Sarah Wilson, Centreville gained a five-goal lead and held
possession for the 17-12 win, ending an excellent 14-1-1 season for the Cavs.
Varsity
Softball
WTW’s
softball season came to an end this week, but we have a very good nucleus of players to be excited about next year. It’s
going to be hard to replace our seniors, but the rest of the team will be back,
with some JV players ready to make the move to Varsity. This is how we
expected a team this young to play. They just started playing together with new
teammates and new coaches. You cannot properly build a team in one year. You can't teach everything the girls
need to know. When you look at most teams in our conference, there might be one or two
freshmen that make an impact, we expected 7, and they did. We won 5 more games
this year than last. Next season with this group of players returning, the
Cavaliers are looking to improve from a 6-13 record. Every year is a challenge with
Lake Braddock and South County in our conference, now add in Fairfax and
Robinson, but with these girls returning there should be some excitement to
look forward to next spring.

the Second Day of the Virginia Scholastic Rowing Championships, five WTW boats
