Athletics Update: JV Volleyball Ready to Compete

The junior varsity volleyball team has been receiving a crash course in instruction from first-year coach Madeleine Grimes and veteran coach Jen James. From overhand serves, bumps, and sets, to positional rotations, communication, and teamwork, these athletes have learned it all. Only in its second year of existence, the team is preparing for its first interscholastic match later this season. Team veterans Christine Deng, Nihka Linhart, and Eyan Morales have been setting a positive example on the court and have greatly improved their skills. This trio will be counted on to make an impact during the team’s first match. Fellow seventh grader Lucie Mora has also established her presence on the court and will look to battle for a varsity spot next year. Collectively, the team has worked hard and is ready to put their skills to the test.

  • Emily Wang buried girls’ JV soccer’s first goal of the season versus Nashoba this week. Bea Stevenson played strong defense. Elena Lin and Indira Yeshwant were active on both ends.
  • Gael Cruz Marcos paced the boys’ JV soccer team against Fenn. Sam Springer and Henry Ward played aggressively in the midfield. Ewan Wheeler was strong between the pipes.
  • The football program rolled over DCD and Fenn this week. Christian Atem had his best game of the season for the varsity team. Colin Walker continued his strong play for junior varsity. 
  • The boys’ varsity soccer team rolls into Friday Night Lights with wins over Park and Fenn. Altay Jomazer played well on the wing while Copeland Maier controlled the middle of the field. 
  • The girls’ varsity soccer team heads into Friday Night Lights unbeaten with wins over Park and Nashoba. Penny Gottesman and Josie Stevenson made strong contributions in both games.
  • The field hockey team lost to Beaver 1-0, giving up a goal in the final minute. Classmates Mame Gensler and Sylvie Fry have worked hard to improve their skills and played well this week. 
  • Edwin Voiland (2nd) and Zoe Bantham-Livermore (7th) paced cross country’s dominant performance at the Park Invitational, which drew nearly 300 runners to the starting line.
  • The varsity volleyball team beat Milton in straight sets (25-7 / 25-19) this week. Eileen Luo was great from the service line and Annika Cash put together some strong front-row hits.
