Sports
Highlights
Girls Varsity Soccer
The Lady Cavaliers secured first place in the conference with home wins
over West Springfield (2 – 0) and Lake Braddock (1 – 0). Against the Spartans, Emily
Wiggins gave the Cavaliers the lead in the first half with a blast to the
upper left corner from the 18-yard line. Wiggins then sealed the game
with less than 2 minutes left with a header off a corner kick from Chloe
Dawson. In another rivalry game, the Lake Braddock Bruins were relentless,
rarely giving the Cavaliers the space they needed to generate offense. In the
second half, off another Dawson corner kick, Bella Hite battled
the defenders and back healed a loose ball past the Bruins keeper to give the
Cavaliers the boost they needed. Cavaliers keeper Jordan Silkowitz
stymied any chances with solid footwork and booming goal kicks in both games.
Boys
Varsity Soccer
Woodson Boys Varsity Soccer had a great
week! On May 1st, Woodson played West Springfield and won 3-0. Daniel Kang had
a hat trick, with assists by George Richard and Andrew Blystone. Will Noecker
moved from Center Back to Midfield and made a huge difference in the play of
the game. On May 3rd, Woodson played Lake Braddock, and were victorious in a
big way, winning 7-1. Still plagued with injuries, Woodson displayed its depth,
with all three Sophomores scoring goals. Harrison Tun scored two goals; Luke Schneider
and George Richard each scored one. Daniel Kang claimed two goals, and Andrew
Blystone scored a fantastic goal! Tadhg Owen’s strong play up front contributed
to several of Woodson’s goals. Hiroki Cook, Max Abduhalikov, Andrew
Linares-Sejas and JP Seibold gave it their all! With one more Conference game
to go, Woodson is at the top of the group with a 7-2-2 record.
Girls Varsity Lacrosse
Woodson ended the regular
season strong with an 18-8 win over conference rival Robinson. Robinson scored
first while Woodson took some time settling into their offense. On a break-away
Margaret Stephan (6G/2TA) got on the board followed by Campbell Brown (2G),
Natalie Gates (4G/7DC) and Devin Alsup (2G/4DC). The offense kept pressuring
for an 8-3 half-time lead. In the second half Carlie Hartung (3G/1A) scored
three and Gates scored two off the draw. Defenders Sydney Andes, Rachel
Williams, Maddie Stedham, Sarah Wilson, Annie Reeves and Sabrina Fasold were
outstanding in double teaming drivers and shutting down Robinson’s four D1
commits. Logan Dougherty, ranked second in AllMet for assists, had four assists
and two take-aways. Cassia Kruse was strong on the circle with three
draw-controls and one take-away and Katherine Friedman scored one. Woodson went
undefeated in the conference earning a bye in conference playoffs and a spot in
Regional playoffs.
