Weekly Recaps
BOYS TENNIS by Colin Malone:
This week the boys tennis team took on Saint John Paul and Rising Tide. First, we faced SJP away in our season opener but ended up coming up short. Ultimately, we fell 2-3 in match score in a close and hard-fought battle coming down to the last game. The team came into our second game against Rising Tide ready to take a win. In a strong showing, all players took down their opponents for a solid 5-0 match score finish. All of the guys played their part in this big team win.
GIRLS TENNIS by Olivia Prisco:
We won our game on Wednesday, 5/12, against Rising Tide in Plymouth. Each player played extremely well, and the entire lineup won their matches. Our team has great sportsmanship, and we are always cheering our players on. During practices, every player is included, and the entire team has positive energy. We are excited and ready for our next match against Sturgis West tomorrow.
UNIFIED TRACK by Anna Bianco:
This week was Unified Track's first full week of the season! This week Unified Track has been full of encouragement for one another in every event and exercise we do. Our attitudes have already created a supportive and welcoming environment. Attitude is everything, and it makes a difference in every way possible; I can already tell that this is what will make our team successful. Every athlete has been willing to participate, engage and support one another, even in new events.
GIRLS GOLF by Jane Howard:
Monomoy girls golf has had a strong start to their season, with their record being 4-0 already. Last Tuesday, the sharks traveled to Falmouth Country Club to take on Falmouth girls golf. The Sharks defeated the Clippers 1-0, with Monomoy scoring 5 ½ and Falmouth ½. It was a complete team win with impressive victories from team captions Charlotte Blute, Jane Howard, and Jennie Grogan. On Tuesday 5/11, the Sharks traveled to Blue Rock Golf Course to play DY. Despite the Dolphins home course advantage, the Sharks won 2-0 (Monomoy 5 DY 1). Strong performances on the par-three course by Isabela McMahon and Ava Packett. The Sharks played in a tri-match against DY and Nauset on Wednesday 5/12 at Cranberry Valley. The Sharks came out strong, with the results being Monomoy 6 DY 0, and Monomoy 5 ½ and Nauset ½; Overall 4-0. Complete team wins with strong performances by everyone. Go Sharks!
SOFTBALL by Devinne Wilson:
The past week couldn't have been a better way to start off the season. Starting off the season with a 4-0 win streak we handled the competition and overcame the obstacles we encountered as a team. We had an exciting game vs. Sandwich. Although we haven't played together for almost two years and positions are new, it's also the birth of a new team chemistry.
BOYS LACROSSE by Jake Burnie:
This week was a tough challenge with 3 games total. However, the boys put in a great effort. We still have lots to work on but overall it was a decent start to the season. Due to multiple injuries across the board, we have struggled a bit with some of the newer players who are still learning and developing. I believe that over time and hard work these boys will continue to grow. Our home opener ended in a way we were not anticipating. Goals scored by Sean Deveau, Dylan Meincke, and August Hand got us on the board but weren't enough to secure a win. The following day we hosted Falmouth Academy. Another loss unfortunately but we held strong considering a broken wrist from Tommy Pandicio and a torn ACL from Jake Burnie. To add to that Demar Beckford is out with a sprained ankle. Goals scored by Sean Deveau, Dylan Meincke, and assists from Tamer Khalil. Our defense has really put the team on their back this week in our vineyard game, Falmouth game, and our SJP game today. That also resulted in a loss. Goals scored by Dylan Meincke and Tamer Khalil, an 8th grader who has proven a lot since his recent varsity step up. We have our work cut out for us but these boys are prepared for what’s to come. No games next week but stay tuned for our game on the 25th. Go Sharks!
GIRLS LACROSSE by Maggie Dever:
The Momomoy Girls lacrosse team lost a tough battle against the SJP Lions 16-10. The sharks fought hard until the last second! Sophomore Lucy Mawn controlled the offense scoring 5 goals and helping out her teammate with and assist. Senior Captain Maggie Dever scored 3 goals and had 5 draw controls in the midfield! Both juniors, Maddie Silvester and Kate Gabri scored a goal to help the sharks stay in the game. Amazing defensive playing by Lexi Hyora, great job stepping up and filling that defensive leadership role. Maddie Flaherty had an amazing night in net saving 9 shots! Way to go girls!
