Softball: Marlboro, seeking to be battletested, gets 'big' win over Arlington
Everyone would love to enter the playoffs with an unblemished record and a chance to go undefeated. But for a team expecting to contend for a state title, there is more value in being battle-tested ― even at the expense of the record and some statistics. "I wanted to make sure that we had a schedule that would challenge us," Marlboro softball coach Andrea Schoonmaker said. "Taking on tough teams better prepares us for the postseason." ...
Post Season Reflections – From Finish to Start
Congratulations to the Cal Lutheran Men’s Volleyball team for meeting every challenge along the way to culminate an astounding ’24 season with a 3-0 victory over Vassar in the National Championship on Sunday. Most reading this post watched the game to see exactly how it played out, not needing any insight to know Vassar was right there in the hunt, making it deceptively closer than the image a 3-0 on a bracket conjures up. They weren’t able to get over the top in any set, particularly the third. Mostly because Cal Lu’s magnificent heart shown on Friday gave way to a mindful and relentless pursuit by refusing to allow Vassar’s grit to get them on the board. Maybe the Kingsmen were inspired by a memory of Dominican earlier this year or Loras last week on this same court, when both times they sprinted to a two set lead, only to hang on by a deuce in the 5th, not wanting to revisit that hollow feeling again.

FREEDOM PLAINS - To think, it almost wasn't. The euphoric feeling that Arlington exited the field with that evening was this close to being delayed and just as close to being denied. About 30 seconds before there was reason to celebrate, the umpires convened to discuss halting the game after...
It's not just a Caitlin Clark thing. 3-pointer mania is taking over girls HS basketball
The driveway at the McDaniel home in Cold Spring ends in a basketball hoop. It's a narrow space. A baseline jumper, unless it's little more than a put-back, isn't happening. ...

Somers Lacrosse Outpaces Greeley
SOMERS, N.Y. - On Tuesday, April 30, Somers traveled to Horace Greeley, and a 5-5 fourth quarter drew praise from Tusker Coach Deb Daly. “It was a great game by both teams,” she said. But only one team went home a winner, and three straight goals were the deciding factor. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE TAPINTO.NET NEWSLETTER Lyla Mancini broke the tie, Sydney Ingraham provided the insurance, and Molly Fink put it away. Greeley would get on the board first, though.
