Athletes of the Week!

Last week the girls' varsity team traveled to Madison for an overnight trip! Friday night they took on number two ranked Madison West defeating the regents 2-0. The Warhawks jumped ahead early with Mary Leininger scoring in the first minute of the game with a goal assisted by Leah Brock. Mary returned the favor to Leah scoring in the 20th minute to double the lead before half. It was a great defensive effort from the entire team to keep the shut out for the remainder of the game. Saturday the girls took on Madison Memorial winning 1-0 with Mary Leininger finding the back of the net from Maya Staples. 

Earlier this week the Warhawks were defeated in a shortened match due to weather conditions to Tosa East 1-0. JV won 3-0. Aria Barter started the scoring in the first minute of the second half. Aria doubled the lead from an Abby Humphriss and Stell Rojahn pass. 

JV2 defeated DSHA 10-0 in dominating fashion! 

The Rojahn sisters lead the scoring with Scarlett finishing 4 goals and Stella with the hat trick. Quinn Neilson, Addison Becker and Kendal Merten also added to the score. 

The JV2 team travels to Brookfield East tonight. And varsity and JV teams will be back in action tomorrow at  Whitefish Bay at 5 and 7pm. Good luck!

The boys' tennis team played in their home invitational on Saturday 5/9 and went 1-2 on the day playing some close matches in the process.
