LACROSSE strives for improvement this spring By PJ Nave and Emily Cardwell The boys and girls lacrosse season took off with the budding of spring. The girls have a strong team this year, thanks to the plentiful amount of veteran players. Coach Alex Gauna believes the girls have a strong year ahead of them, attributing the experienced players and lots of practice. “We feel good about our conditioning and preparedness, and are confident in our ability to compete at a high level this season,” Gauna said. As of Mar. 5, the boys are 0-2, and the girls are 0-1 after losing a close game 10-11 against Cardinal Newman. Last year, the girls ended with a 5-12 record, and so they look to improve their standings in 2020. Gauna said, “The spirit of our team and camaraderie could not be stronger at the start of this season.” SWIM TEAM hopes for a splash By Emily Cardwell The coed swim team dove into practice the first week of February, eager to maintain momentum from last year’s successful season. Placing first in the MCALs and qualifying for NCS last year, the team met their goal of winning MCALs but decided to not participate in NCS. Led by coaches Dave Fahy, Mike Creghino, and assistant coach Brian Hennessy, the team is hoping to gain a strong footing in upcoming meets. 22 VARSITY TENNIS optimistic despite few signups By Emily Cardwell Boys tennis swung into the season shortly following ski week, with coach Jeff Brice and seniors Kaden Brastow, Lukas Bauchman, Aidan Nelson, and Cole Wood leading the team. There weren’t enough signups to make cuts this year, which unfortunately resulted in the lack of a junior varsity team this year. Their first two matches, against Marin Catholic and Tam, resulted in a win and loss respectfully, setting a tone of perseverance and hard work for this spring.
