Steward Invitational

In the Steward Invitational, we played our first game against the host, Steward School. The game was very evenly matched. Senior Captain Harlan ('11), Budi ('12), Budi ('13), and Curtin ('11), held the defensive line. JV goalkeeper, sophomore McDonald ('13), a captain on the JV team, held her own in goal with 7 saves! Caudill ('12) worked hard on the left to push up field. Curtin ('12) and senior captain Albright ('11), had some beautiful breaks towards goal. Whitlock ('13), Puchalski ('13), and DeBell ('13), had some beautiful connecting passes. The Gators fought hard, but couldn't come off with a win. The score at the end of the game, was 0-1, Steward.

Coming off of a defeat, the Gators were looking for a victory in their final game of the day against St. Margaret's. The Gators spent 25 out of 30 minutes of the first half fighting to get a goal in. The half ended in a 0-0 tie. The Gators were not looking to tie another game, and Caudill ('12), pushed hard from midfield to score the game winning goal, and the only goal of the game, about halfway through the second half. Budi ('12) had several nice runs towards goal and Harlan ('11) did not let the ball pass the 50 yard line. Curtin ('11) had her best game of the season! Morris ('13) got close to some shots on goal as well. The Gators looked good in the tournament and are ready to take on the rest of the LIS!

The total record for the season, is currently 3-3-3. The JV and Varsity Gators go on to play long time rival, Trinity Episcopal School, tomorrow at the Villa. On Wednesday, the Gators take on the only other all girls school in the Richmond area, St. Catherine's. On Friday, they travel north to play the newest LIS school, Pope John Paul the Great. Wish us luck and come out to support the teams if you can!
