The fall sports teams are moving along well with cross country in meets nearly every week and the girls and boys soccer teams continuing their full schedule.
In cross country, Zevi Lowenberg leads the pack, placing in the top 5 in every meet this year. Close on his heels, Ze’ev Beleck is running well, clearing the top 10 in the conference on a consistent basis. All of the runners continue to dedicate hours of running each week preparing for what is for surely going to be an exciting Conference Championship on October 28 at the Jemicy School.
Prior to the beginning of the girls soccer season, the boys soccer team kicked off their season in a situation that was less than ideal. Going into their first game, the boys team had multiple injuries putting them in the position of having to play a man down, or even having to forfeit. Arielle Bodner of the girls soccer team offered to play for the boys simply so they could have enough players for a complete team. The exciting part of this story is that the boys ended up winning the game 3 to 1 and Arielle scored two of the goals. Since that game, the boys have recouped and now have a full squad, playing very competitive soccer both in and out of conference. The team is led by goalkeeper, Matt Danoff, and stopper, Alex Verovsky.
The girls soccer team have also dealt with a numbers issue. It’s been a tough season and the girls have played some really competitive soccer over the last few weeks, but just couldn’t find a way to get into the win column. Last week all of that changed. The team refocused its efforts on communication and all-out hustle. In doing so, they jumped out to an early lead against Cristo Rey and never looked back. The final score was 3 to 1, but the more impressive score is that all of Cardin’s goals were scored by different girls, none of which were the leading season scorer for the team, Arielle Bodner. Showing that type of teamwork and positioning says a lot about this team. Early in the game, 9th grader Jessica Miller took advantage of a crossed pass by Bodner to start the scoring. In the second half, more impressive passing and communication took place as Leah Prince, Ally Richmond, and Chelsea Connor (Waldorf) scored off passes from each other.
Overall, the fall sports teams are doing very well and continue to improve. Please come out and support our students as they represent Cardin on the athletic field.
