Atoms Weekly Recap
Here is a quick recap of first week of spring sports
Girls Soccer was back in action with two games before the break. The Atoms welcomed the Bulldogs of Westfield Tuesday evening and held a 2-1 lead late into the second half before the Bulldogs were able to squeeze a goal in with five to play. The game ended in a 2-2 after OT. The Atoms didn't have long to wait before their game as they hosted Woodbridge Wednesday. The Atoms played well but couldn't hold the Vikings from scoring twice to take the game 2-0. The Atoms are off until their district opener at Falls Church, April 4.
Boys Soccer didn't get in the win column but they didn't end up of loss column either this week. The Atoms traveled to Westfield and battled the Bulldogs to a 2-2 tie in a great competitive game. Thursday night saw the Atoms host Osbourn Park and hold a 2-1 advantage until the final minutes of the game when a PK was the dagger to make it 2-2. OT was a competitive and saw the game end just the way it started, tied. The Atoms return to the field April 4 when they host Falls Church.
Softball was in action twice this week vs district foes Hayfield and Justice. The Atoms played a tough Hayfield team, holding an 11-10 lead into the 5th inning and tie game at 11 into the 7th. The Hawks were able to scratch a couple runs across in the 7th to win an exciting game 15-12. The Atoms returned to the field at Justice Thursday night and ran away from the Wolves winning convincingly 18-2! The Atoms looks to make it two in a row when they return after the break vs Oakton on April 3.
Baseball had two more district games before the break. Game 1 of the week saw the Atoms take an early lead vs Hayfield before the Hawks' bats got hot and flew away from the Atoms in the later innings. Game 2 required the Atoms to travel to the Den of Justice. It was an exciting back and forth game that saw the Atoms prevail 7-6 over the Wolves! The Atoms have a few games over the break (all at Annandale) and return to district play April 2 vs Lewis.
Boys Tennis had a busy week with three matches vs district opponents. The Atoms started the week with a dominating 8-1 win over Justice! The Atoms were solid in every match but unfortunately could keep the momentum as they fell to Lewis the next day 3-6. The Atoms finished the week off with state contenders TJ but the growth and development of the team is evident as they head into spring break. Next up Edison April 3.
Girls Tennis went into spring break with three matches. The young Atoms continue to played hard each match but their youth is still evident at this point in the season. They fell in all three matches to Justice, Lewis, and TJ but their determination to get better continues to shine through and look to make big strides after the break. They return to the court April 3 vs Edison.
Boys Lacrosse hit the field for three games before the break. The Atoms hosted Wakefield Monday and played well but fell short to the Warriors to open the week. The Atoms traveled to Mt. Vernon for their first district game and came away the win to start the season off 1-0. The Atoms ended the week vs South Lakes. The Seahawks ran away from the Atoms but the improvements that started last year continue to show! The Atoms look to continue that growth when they return after the break vs district rival Falls Church.
Girls Lacrosse had one game this week versus a talented South Lakes team. The Seahawks flexed early and ran away from the Atoms. The Atoms played hard and look to build off the growth they've shown this year when they return to the field for their district opener vs Falls Church.
Outdoor Track & Field had their second meet of the season at Justice. The Atoms continue to shine on the track as several more athletes qualified for the district and region meets with personal best times. The Atoms get back at if after the break with their third meet at Lewis.
