Varsity Girls Softball: NHS 10 / El Molino 4
Sam Spina's nine strikeouts pushed the Hornets easily past El Molino. Spina went 4 - 4 against El Molino's pitching with singles in the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 7th innings.
Nine runs in the first three innings, including an RBI single by Zoe Hoover, an RBI single by Spina, and a groundout by Kambria Chipman, 2 steals of home by Sarah Bailey and Libby Petersen, and a bases loaded walk scored by Bonnie Coulman in fueled the Hornets' offense early.
JV soccer:
Our NHS JV girls just opened the soccer season this evening at Drake. It ended up a 0-4 loss but one of my players summed up the game in saying "I think this might sound weird, but I feel like we won"
The girls played their heart out and even though Drake was a much stronger team, they had to work to get the 4 goals.
Girls Lacrosse Wow! It has been quite a start for the Hornet girls lax! The team is made up of a cadre of veteran players who have been standouts in MCAL over the past few years, along with a wave of Freshmen and Sophmore players who have lots of lacrosse under their belts. After an unsettled and sloppy first game against current 2nd place NCS team San Ramon Valley, which the girls lost 6-10, they have been on a 5 -win streak. The second game was against perennial rival Granite Bay, a team with several players committed to D1 colleges. After the unfortunate first loss, the team was eager to prove what they were made of. The young group of Freshmen made their true debut and showed the world they belong on a high school field. The win was authoritative and showcased a newly-integrated Novato girls lax team. The next team to come to Novato has a HUGE reputation, not only in NCS, but in the Lacrosse world nation-wide. Carondolet has won NCS several times over the past years, and is often mentioned as a top 10 team of the West in Lacrosse Magazine. Novato achieved what is certainly the biggest upset to date by fighting from the first whistle to the last and beating Carondolet 10-8. Crosstown rival San Marin is a building program. Novato girls won easily but with the scoring help of players like Destanee Tvedten, who has never played lacrosse before this year! The next two games, against Oak Ridge (12-9) and Foothill Pleasanton (20-7), were wins as well, significant because of the wide range of players notching assists, goals, turnovers, draw controls, ground balls, and, in the case of freshman Katie McGrath, goalie saves. The team has integrated very quickly and their hard work at practice shows on the field. The HUGE game this week is Novato vs. Marin Catholic. The team has been 2nd to MC in MCAL the past few years and is determined to change history ASAP. PLEASE COME TO MARIN CATHOLIC TO SUPPORT THE TEAM this Thursday 3/19 at 4pm!!!
