Athletics Update: Schneider, Treisman, and Ruiz Shine in Win
The girls’ lacrosse team toppled Shady Hill 12-8 in their season opener yesterday. It was a strong performance from the opening draw to the final whistle, as Belmont Day controlled play for the entire game. First year goalie Kamila Ruiz came up huge in net for the home team with 7 saves on the afternoon. Also to note was the play of seventh grade classmates Avery Schneider and Quincy Treisman. Schneider was a force at midfield, effectively shutting down the Shady Hill attack with strong slides and aggressive play. Treisman led the way offensively with a team-high 4 goals and 2 assists. Eighth grade captains Niamh O’Brien and Emma Kass also got into the mix, combining for 6 goals and 8 assists. The team will look to run it back next week when they host LCA.
- Marlon Kasse placed 2nd in the 400m and 3rd in the 50m against Shady Hill this week. McKenna Daley (400m) and Matthieu Small (shot put) were Belmont Day’s only 1st place finishes in the lopsided loss.
- Varsity ultimate roared back from a 5-point deficit before losing on universe point 12-11 against Shady Hill. Eike Kiecza led the way offensively with great throws, while Anurag Mujumdar keyed the comeback with solid D.
- Bodhi Demers’ gritty 6-5 win secured the shutout for varsity tennis in their season opener against Fenn. Teammates Kesariya Nallari-Jhala and Juliana Li shined at #2 doubles with an impressive win (6-4) of their own.
- The offense sputtered for boys’ lacrosse in their 9-2 loss to Shady Hill this week. Captains Bernie Mattox and Alex Foley led the way on the field with strong effort and kept the team positive during the loss.
