SOCCER

 
Varsity soccer is currently tied for 3rd place in the Sunshine League with two games left in the schedule. Despite injuries, the players managed to put together a very impressive campaign, highlighted by wins against Marlborough (2-0 at MB and 1-0 away). The current team record is  9-5-5.

The girls are working very hard in preparation for these final two games and are confident they will clinch a play-off spot for the 8th consecutive season.
 

 

 

 

BASKETBALL 

 

As of this week's end, the Varsity and JV basketball teams are in second place.  They have remaining games against Immaculate Heart and Ramona Convent. With victories over these two schools, the Varsity team will be guaranteed a second seed spot in the playoffs.
