It has been an amazing fall for our athletic programs! Although our girls’ soccer team would have preferred to be playing in the State Championship this coming weekend, their loss in the PIAA State semi-final round closed out a tremendous run.
Boys' and Girls' Cross Country:
The boys’ and girls’ cross-country teams both had solid seasons with finishing in 6th place in the Colonial League. The girls’ team’s post-season run was also a success. They secured a second-place finish in the District Championship which earned them an opportunity to compete in the State meet. On the boys side, senior Krish Gupta '24, also earned a spot to run in the State meet as he finished in 15th place. Virginia Kraus '26 was sensational as she won every race she competed in this fall and capped the regular season by winning the Colonial League, the District, and the PIAA Championships for the second consecutive season. The future looks bright for our cross-country teams with a number of returning runners.
Field Hockey:
The field hockey team’s quest for a District title ended in the District XI semi-finals as they lost to District runner-up, Palmerton. The team should be proud of their accomplishments as they finished the regular season with an 8-7-1 record and competed in both the Colonial League and District XI Tournaments. The team will need a strong off-season to rebuild after the departure of a strong senior class.
Golf:
The Varsity Golf team won the District XI Team Title this fall. From an individual standpoint, Mara Dubacher '26 won gold in the individual golf District Tournament and Emma Xu '25 earned a bronze medal. In the Colonial League tournament, Emma earned a first-place finish with Mara finishing in 2nd place. On the boys’ side, Colin Schreiber '26 earned a silver medal in the District XI tournament. Colin, Mara, and Emma all qualified and competed in the PIAA State Championship.
Girls' Soccer:
The Girls' Soccer team had an historic season as they reached the PIAA State semi-final for the first time in program history. After earning a 6th seed in the Colonial League tournament, they reached the finals where they eventually lost to Northwestern. As the team moved on the District tournament, the girls won gold for the sixth consecutive season. The team looks poised for another strong season next fall with a strong number of returning players.
Boys' Soccer:
The Boys' Soccer team had another successful season as they secured their 11th consecutive District Title! Their run in the State playoff ended in the quarter-final round as they were defeated by a familiar foe, Faith Christian Academy. The team will look now to the off-season to continue to develop their younger players for next fall.
Girls’ Tennis:
The Girls' Tennis team finished the regular season with a 11-1 record. The team captured both the Colonial League regular season and tournament titles and the District XI team title. In the State tournament, the girls lost to eventual state champion, Scranton Prep. Individually, Chessie Bartolacci '24 ended her high school career successfully by finishing in third place in the state singles tournament. She also won the individual Colonial League and District XI singles title.
