Week of April 13...

After a holiday-shortened schedule last week, the upcoming docket offers opportunities to see each of our varsity teams at least once on their home court, course or field. Before we get to that, however, this just in... a rundown of our winter sports award winners:

Sophomore Rose Coll and senior Dawn Lee were each named to the C-conference All IAAM Basketball Team. Senior Kayla Bruun and sophomore Aiden Piper earned similar honors in B-conference indoor soccer, and our own Karl Nelson was named to the C-conference All MIAA Team as well as the Baltimore All-Metro Team as an honorable mention!

On to the teams... Last week, baseball continued to overcome key injuries and shuffled lineups as they dominated Chapelgate in a 10-0 win. In so doing, they briefly seized sole possession of first place in the division only to fall back into a three-way tie a day later after a tumultuous loss to Baltimore Lutheran; a game in which the Bruins fought back from an eight run deficit before succumbing in the late innings. At 3-2, the boys stand even with Boys Latin and Lutheran atop the "Red" division of the B-conference. They'll travel to Severn(2-3) on Tuesday the 14th before returning to Sugar Field to play alongside the softball team on Friday the 17th when 4-1 AACS comes to town.

Girls' lax (4-1 in conference) put on a show last Monday with 22 goals against IND, maintaining a game advantage on the Indians and keeping themselves within striking distance of the Friends Quakers, alone in first at 6-0. Wander out to Girls' Varsity Field this Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 to witness the Bruins again as they take on Pallotti (2-3) in the first half of a home and away series that finishes at Pallotti on Thursday.

The boys' tennis team's struggles in the standings continued with a loss to Calvert Hall last Tuesday. Finding themselves on the short end of a 3-2 outcome, the boys narrowly missed entering the win column in the A-conference. This week they battle Severn and McDonogh in back-to-back road games on Monday (4/13) and Tuesday (4/14). Then, please make a note to catch the match on Thursday when they face the Lakers of Boys Latin on our home courts among the friendly confines of Stevenson University.

Our golfers face a similar uphill climb after losing to Severn 16-5 last week. They'll look to get on the winning track against Beth Tfiloh, to whom they lost a squeaker earlier in the season, on Monday at Woodholme Country Club. From there it's off to Diamond Ridge to challenge Cardinal Gibbons on Friday (4/17).

Boys' lax remains at 1-1 and in third place in the "Black" division of the B-conference after last week's respite from competition. This week the boys first travel the long road to 3-0 Annapolis Area Christian School on Tuesday (4/14) before facing Glenelg at home on Boys' Varsity Field on Friday. Wins would catapult the team into first place.

Rounding out this edition is the softball squad (1-1), who came into last week still stinging from a surprising loss in their conference opener. Last Tuesday, the Saints of Baltimore Lutheran found themselves in an unenviable position as the next opponent on the Bruins' schedule. Park tallied twenty runs in just five innings, shortening the game via the league's "mercy" rule, and reestablishing themselves as contenders for the title. This week, the young team (starting only 1 senior, 1 junior and 3 sophomores) faces new challenges and a crammed calendar as they play four games, starting with two away from home; at St. Tim's on Tuesday followed by at Garrison on Wednesday. On Thursday (4/16), the girls tune up against B-conference Catholic before taking the field in our GAME OF THE WEEK against Friends on Friday. As mentioned previously, the Sugar Field showdown will take place concurrently with the boys' baseball game against AACS just an infield fly away, creating an ideal day at the ballpark(s). Come out and see both teams when the girls toss their first pitch at 4:00 followed by the boys' just fifteen minutes later.

See you there! GO BRUINS!

Remember to all always verify opponents, dates and times via the school's website.
