Athletics Update: Girls’ JV Soccer Saves the Best for Last

It was an uphill battle for the girls’ junior varsity soccer team this fall. With a condensed roster and some first-time players, the team struggled to gain traction early on. As the season progressed, however, the team slowly began to make strides. Practices were focused on basic skill development and coaches worked to celebrate small successes on the field. Team captains Abigail Chang, Bea Stevenson, and Maren Whitman were instrumental in the team’s progress. As second-year players, the trio used their experience to help guide the team through some tough losses to begin the season and were impact players during the team’s final three games, which included a pair of close losses, and a hard-fought 5-4 win. During the team’s final game, first-year players Rosie Smith, Emily Wang, and Marina Hubbard shined, proving that hard work through a season’s worth of practice eventually pays dividends on the field. Congratulations to the entire girls’ junior varsity soccer team for finishing their season on a high note and saving their best for last.

  • The volleyball program will be making its annual trip to Havard University this weekend to celebrate another successful season while watching the Havard women square off against Princeton.
  • The boys’ JV soccer team finished the season with an even 3-3 record behind strong leadership and solid defense from veteran players Henry Mallet, Harvey Borisy, and Ewan Wheeler.
  • The cross country team celebrated another successful campaign yesterday as they recognized the accomplishments of all 23 athletes, all of whom set PRs on the home course.
  • Zazoue Marsan, Siri Paulsson, and Lucy Walther all finished their BDS field hockey careers on a high note as impact players despite never playing the sport before middle school.
  • The football program combined for an 11-4 record this year and has talented players in the pipeline. Evan Bae and Lee Piechota will be the only returning varsity players. 
  • Julia Casey broke the school’s single-season scoring record by tallying a remarkable 23 goals over the course of girls’ varsity soccer’s perfect 10-0 season.
  • Sam Rodriguez and Hughy Marsan finish their careers as the only three year members of the boys’ varsity soccer team in the class of 2025. Both players have left their mark on the program.
