Friday evening the Weekday JV Squad went to Dublin to play “sixes” because Dublin did not have enough players for a full game. These young Dons had never played sixes before but this did not stop them from completely dominating the game 18 to 0 and it was not that close. The Dons did not even attempt a shot in the last quarter and a half.
The Dons played all 27 players that are on the weekday squad equally. The ball movement by our players was perfect. Nearly everyone on offense scored with several players scoring multiple goals including Allie Schofield and Livvy Lewis. Brook Lewis also chipped in a goal. Elloise Greeson, Savanna Martinez, Stella Degroot, Chloe Vignoles, Lucy Hamilton, Yali Avrahimi, Gena Tenorio and of course Talia Tichnor all scored at least one goal. Defenders Beatrice Deignan, Avila Payne, Dephine Fisher, Penny Haslam and Riley Zirkle along with Goalie Persephone Quine shut out the Dublin Gaels! There were also incredibly awesome contributions from veterans Tatum Walsh, Claire Hawkins and Elouis Kubas along new Freshman Estee Romick, Hadley Hastings, Sydney Piacente and Cameron Koch. It was an incredibly awesome evening!
SATURDAY SQUADERS DOMINATE!
The next morning the new Lady Dons Saturday Squad along with a few weekday players gathered at Acalanes at 9:00 to play their first two scrimmages/games of their Acalanes Career and they did not disappoint! The Dons beat up on Bishop O’Dowd 6-3 and shut out Campolindo 3 to 0. For most of these players they have never played in a game or a scrimmage. However, if you watched them you would never have known that. Chloe Lloyd and Dora Henal completely handled the Goalie position (Dora had never even tried before but was fantastic pitching a shutout). Whiley veterens Claire Leanos, Willa Wolcott Maya Kayiran all were a force on the field helping to guide the new players throughout.
New Lax defensive players Caroline Tumulty, Rory O’Farrell and Kennedy Wilson were lights out on defense! I must also mention Riley Zirkle who has just started playing lacrosse but is playing like a seasoned veteran!
New Midfielders Farren Staino, Quinn Curley, Cameron Koch and speedster Mari Beltramo dominated the entire field and completely controlled the tempo of both games. Quinn and Farren also scored goals!
New attack players Emelia Deutsch Stella (one goal), Phoebe Ambrosini (two goals), Abby Haimovici, Willow Ward (one goal), Soraya Amirdelfan, Oona Salo, Zoya Sainath, Katie Sanguinet and Serfina Cook all showed that they have great promise and ability. This program is in great hands with all of these great new players.
Tuesday night the JV Ladies will host the team from Danville, Monte Vista. We all know those kids and parents take sports VERY seriously. Almost every player on MV were Club Lax Players. Come out and watch the most exciting Junior Varsity team ever! They are young, they are hungry and they hustle the entire game. Aint no stopping these young ladies!
