Weekly Athletic Update, 05/18/15

Congratulations to the Baseball team on their CNEPBL Championship on Saturday. The team culminated an outstanding year of baseball (18-4) with convincing wins over Cushing Academy (7-3) and Andover (11-4) to take the title. The baseball team last won the championship in 2011 so it is a fitting way for our senior class and for Coaches Forsberg and Gafur to end their careers on the hill! Juniors Alex Brickman and John Crimmon led the offensive attack for the Hilltopper nine and senior Gus Culpo threw a gem in the finals to secure the league championship!

 

Our Track & Field teams competed at the New England NEPSAC Championships on Saturday at the Williston-Northampton School and several athletes performed well, including:

Girls Softball concluded a fine a season but were knocked out of the Andover Big East Tournament by BB&N, this on the heels of a win over Milton (8-6) and a loss to Phillips Exeter.

 

Our Varsity Girls Lacrosse team (9-4-2) posted their 2nd consecutive winning season with a come from behind win over Cushing Academy on Wednesday, 10-8. The team graduates five outstanding seniors, including team MVP, Gianna Polito but returns an outstanding nucleus including freshman Shelia Gadbois and sophomore, Alivia Roy who both were named NEPSWLA All-Stars by the league coaches!

 

Boys Tennis (9-5) finished up the year in fine fashion winning on the road at Williston and Coach Glassmire’s club continues to make significant strides as they climb the ladder in the New England tennis landscape.

 

Girls Tennis also concluded their season on a positive note winning on the road at Cushing Academy. A healthy returning cast bodes well for the team in 2016!

 

The Crew season, per usual, heats up as we enter the final weeks of competition with boats pushing for improved times in two key races over the past week. Junior Zachary Koulopoulos and Stepahnie Hartman were named respective MVPs of the boys and the girls squads.

 

The Boys Lacrosse team (senior Matthew Beaudet MVP) concluded their most successful season (7-3) in recent years with an exciting win over Cushing Academy on Wednesday. The 10-8 win at Morse Field was a great way to finish and send our seniors off on a high note.

 

On the sub-varsity level the JV Baseball and Softball teams ended their respective seasons with convincing wins while Matt Dickson’s JV Boys Lacrosse team (3-4) played their finest game of the season in the finale, beating Suffield Academy, 8-1.

 

At the Spring Awards Assembly this past Friday, in addition to recognizing the captains and team MVPs the following Year End Awards (as voted by the Worcester Academy coaches were presented)!
