Mary’s Declassified Spring Sports Survival Guide

As I’m sure most of you know, SUA’s spring sports are almost at tournament time, so I thought it would be good to let you all know how our teams are doing so far this season.

Varsity lacrosse:

• 4-8 (wins-losses)
• 24 girls on the team + 1 manager
• 12 seniors, 8 juniors, 3 sophomores, and 1 freshman
• Won 1 GGCL game out of 6 so far
• What to expect next year - a strong team as the current JV sophomores level up to Varsity

JV lacrosse:

• 9-2 (wins-losses)
• 23 girls on the team
• 6 freshmen, 17 sophomores
• Undefeated in GGCL’s
• What to expect next year - also a solid team as the current freshmen anchor JV

Lacrosse overall:

• The goal is to make it to the second round of the state tournament
• Strengths are that the girls make a great team
• Weaknesses are that the girls are a second-half team, meaning they don’t come out full force in the first half
• Things to note about GGCL’s:
• One of our girls has the most saves
• One of our girls has caused the 3rd most turnovers
• One of our girls has won the 4th most draw controls

Varsity softball:

• Only varsity girls, there’s no JV team
• 1-11 (wins-losses)
• 13 girls
• 3 seniors, 2 juniors, 1 sophomore, 7 freshmen
• No high hopes for GGCL or state tournaments
• Strengths: good hitters
• Weaknesses: fundamentals and mindset
• What to expect: a new pitcher, a solid team in 3 years once the current freshmen are seniors
• Things to consider: this team is a mostly freshman team playing at a varsity level and we have already seen a drastic improvement in our freshmen.

Track and field:

• Track competes as one team
• Meets are won by whoever scores the most points. Points are decided by how an athlete places in their event (1st place is 10pts, 2nd is 8pts, etc). The top 8 girls get points.
• There are about 100 girls on the team - about 35 sprinters and about 65 distance girls
• Strengths: Girls are a great team and very supportive
• Weaknesses:
