The Jags tied 0-0, losing the Continental League Championship. “We were obviously the stronger team but just couldn’t find a way to score, but otherwise our connection and our intensity was really high so I’m proud of that. We just have to find the net,” defense midfielder Clara Geuzaine ‘24 said. “[Losing League] wasn’t the best. It’s better than last year and like, I know our team and we are doing really good. I don’t want to jinx it but like hopefully [we’ll do] good [in playoffs].”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Copy-of-DSC_4277-1-1200x868.jpg)

Snow Shovelers
Tennis players hang their rackets on the fence during practice.
March 5, 2018
On Wednesday, Feb. 21 the girls tennis team traded their rackets for shovels to practice for upcoming tryouts.
The day before the girls tennis team had to shovel, it was snowing and windy. The weather conditions were cold; the temperature that day was below freezing.
“Shoveling the snow was really difficult because there was a lot of snow and lots of ice as well,” Kaylee Kabza ‘21 said, “We needed to do it because tryouts are this week so we needed the courts in order to practice and tryout. On Wednesday it was freezing while we shoveled and some were prepared and wearing warm clothes while others were in shorts and freezing the whole time.”
