<p><span style="color: black;">York Softball had an exciting end to its season yesterday, beating </span>Anzar 19-9 through sheer force of will and batting determination. The girls hit really well and played a fantastic game overall. <strong>Tyler Zenda '12</strong>pitched with eight strikeouts and went 3 for 5 at the plate with a home run; <strong>Ellie Smith '12</strong> led the team at shortstop and went 3 for 5 with a double; <strong>Drea Cruchett '12</strong>started at first base and hit an RBI before leaving the game with an injury; and <strong>Jesse Blalock '12</strong> started her first game in right field and had one plate appearance. <strong>Cassie Minor '13</strong> also had a double, <strong>Mayra Melendez '14</strong> hit a triple, <strong>Izzie Leahy '14</strong> had a double, and <strong>Megan Hand '14</strong> threw someone out at second base while playing catcher. Awesome! Many thanks to the cheering line of lacrosse players!</p>

<p><span style="color: black;">With no rest after yesterday&rsquo;s victory over PCS, the Falcons again hit the road to travel to Carmel Valley and face the #1 seeded team, who hadn&rsquo;t played a game since last Friday night.&nbsp;With their lead scorer <strong>(Gordon Chesebro '13)</strong> from yesterday's game slowed due to a knee injury, the remaining bruised but proud Falcons knew they would have to step up their game to beat the 11-1 Padres. <strong>Michael Cho '12</strong> scored the only goal of the first period off a great feed from <strong>Jack Yost '14</strong> and then on almost instant reply, this same duo scored the second goal of the game midway through the second period.&nbsp;The stellar York defense, anchored by the trio of <strong>Ki Martella '13</strong>, <strong>Scott Pirkle '14</strong>, and <strong>Matthew Lindley '12</strong>, gave up only one goal in the first period and at halftime it was 2-1, York. The Carmel team was trying a different strategy and saving their &lsquo;ace players&rsquo; in case they were needed, so after Chesebro scored midway through the 3rd period to put York up 3-1, the &lsquo;fresh and rested aces&rsquo; came on the field. The York defense was going to have nothing to do with this &lsquo;sneak attack.&rsquo;&nbsp; With their best performance of the year, the defense stripped and blocked and pushed the Carmel offense around the field, refusing to give them a clean shot at their goalie <strong>Collin McDonald '12</strong> who had&nbsp;eight saves in the game.&nbsp;The Padres scored once in the third quarter to bring the game within reach at 3-2. York pulled away again in the fourth with a fantastic feed from <strong>Cedric Coly '14</strong> to <strong>Ryan Galloway '14</strong> whose lightning speed continued to pump up his teammates. Carmel thought they might get back in the game with their only fourth quarter goal but less than&nbsp;two minutes later, Galloway&rsquo;s speed drew too many defenders which freed up <strong>Nick Newman '14</strong> for a flip shot into the Carmel goal to put the game at 5-3 and out of reach for the Padres who scrambled around the last&nbsp;two minutes of the game but never got close enough to the goal to be a serious threat.&nbsp;In a physical game where the Falcons refused to be pushed around, tough performances were put in by <strong>Aidan Glina '15</strong>, <strong>Kevin Ng '15</strong>, and <strong>Sam Gumberg '14</strong>.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: black;">The 5th seeded York Lacrosse team traveled to play #4 seed PCS in Santa Cruz yesterday and proudly walked away with their first ever victory in an MTAL Lacrosse Tournament.&nbsp;Down 2-0 in the first quarter, <strong>Nick Newman '14</strong> put the Falcons on the board with a great feed from <strong>Gordon Chesebro '13</strong>and the first quarter ended 2-1, PCS.&nbsp;In the next quarter, York tied the game when <strong>Andrew Kihs '14</strong> scored off an assist from <strong>Jack Yost '14</strong>. PCS answered with three straight goals and jumped ahead 5-2 with less than a minute to play in the half when Chesebro took matters in his own hand&nbsp; and scored two unassisted goals within&nbsp;eight seconds of each other during the waning seconds of the half. The score stood at 5-4, PCS. In the 3rd quarter, PCS again stretched their lead to&nbsp;three goals when Yost scored off an assist from <strong>Ryan Galloway '14</strong> and 30 seconds later, Chesebro scored his third goal of the game!&nbsp; After&nbsp;three quarters, the score was 7-6, PCS. York owned the fourth quarter when the defensive trio of <strong>Mathew Lindley '12</strong>, <strong>Ki Martella '13,</strong> and <strong>Scott Pirkle '14 </strong>continued to deny any clean shots by the Cougars and stole the ball over&nbsp;eight times as PCS tried to clear the ball from their backfield.&nbsp;After unassisted goals by Chesebro (his fourth) and <strong>Michael Cho '12</strong>&nbsp;the Falcons were ahead 8-7, PCS took advantage of a man up situation and slipped one last goal by <strong>Collin McDowell '12</strong>(six saves) to tie the game 8-8 with just over&nbsp;three minutes left in the game.&nbsp;York returned the man up goal a minute later as Chesebro scored his fifth goal of the game off a great assist from Kihs.&nbsp;The stellar York defense then held off the frantic PCS offense the last two minutes to secure the win and mobbed their goalie in celebration!&nbsp;Final score 9-8, York!&nbsp;Outstanding individual efforts were also contributed by <strong>Sam Gumberg '14</strong>, <strong>Cameron Johnson '14</strong>, <strong>Cedric Coly '14</strong>, and <strong>Aidan Glina '15</strong> &ndash; a great looking future for York Lacrosse!&nbsp;The Falcons travel to Carmel tomorrow to face the #1 seed.</span></p>
