Girls Soccer: Broad Run Wins 4th Straight Dulles District Title

Special to VivaLoudoun
Ashburn (May 11, 2011) - The Broad Run High School girls soccer team clinched its fourth straight AA Dulles District regular-season title Tuesday with a 2-1 win over host Loudoun County.

The Raiders from Leesburg are no strangers to the Spartans who have played each other seven times over the last two seasons including last year’s district, region and state championship games. Tuesday’s game was no different than the past six meetings – a well-played, hard fought game by both squads with Broad Run coming out on top in as many tries.

The Spartans controlled the tempo from the onset and took the lead half-way through the first half when Ellie Zoepfl (assisted by Erin Brady) split the defense and beat the Raider keeper, Brittany Batts, for the early lead.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Cassie Smith intercepted an errant pass-back and pushed the ball past the charging Raider keeper to put the Spartans up 2-0 with 17 minutes left in the match.

The Raider offense would counter with an all-out offensive for the remainder of the game, drawing within one with 12 minutes to go on a header goal by Sarah Olivero from a well placed throw-in by Raider Emma Sieber, but that was all that the Spartan defense, led by keeper Haley Casanova, would allow for the night.

The Spartans (13-1-0) have won their fourth consecutive district title and along the way, have amassed an 81-3-2 record behind the leadership of senior starters Whitney Church (Penn State), Zoepfl (VA Tech), Kacey Kelley (Coastal Carolina), Kathy Taylor (Mary Washington) and Brooke Collins (Indiana University of PA) and are poised to make a run for a fourth consecutive state championship ring.

Beckham will play at NCAA Division I Radford, Christensen at DI UConn and Miller at NCAA Division II West Georgia.

Miller exits all of the Bulldogs setting records including most assists in a match (44), season (905) and career (1,823).

Beckham totaled the second most kills in school history for a career with 1,033 and holds the school mark for service points in match at 32.

Boys Lacrosse: Freedom's Nick Lambert to Play at NCAA D2 Catawba

Nick Lambert (#5) has been a 4-Year Letter Winner at Freedom on defense

South Riding (May 10, 2011) - Freedom High School senior LSM/defenseman Nick Lambert, one of the big reasons that the Eagles secured their first winning regular season in history with a 11-7 victory over Broad Run last week, has committed to play lacrosse next season at NCAA Division II Catawba College in North Carolina.

Freedom finished 8-6 overall and 5-4 in the Dulles District and will travel to Woodgrove this Thursday for a district tournament quarterfinal.

Lambert stared lacrosse at age nine has come a long way since his first try at long pole at age 11 when he was so small that they had to cut down the pole for him. Lambert has been on the defense ever since.

He is one of the first Eagles to earn a 4-year varsity letter in boys lacrosse. Lambert has played for FuZe lacrosse as well as an invitational member with other elite teams.

The Catawba connection came after Lambert attended camp at the college and won their top defenseman award. Lambert loved the school and coaches so much that he made the school his top choice and he signed his Letter of Intent in the fall.

While Lambert was getting some D1 looks, he liked Catawba and his chances at contributing on the D2 level immediately: "I could go D1 and I might get some field time in my junior and seniors years, but if I go D2, especially with a school that really wants me, they'll play me all four years."

Baseball: Heritage's Shane Carrera to Play at NCAA D3 Bowdoin College

Leesburg (May 10, 2011) - Heritage High School senior first baseman Shane Carrera will play next year at NCAA Division III Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine.

The Polar Bears are one of the eldest varsity programs in collegiate sports history as Bowdoin College baseball began playing around 1867, with its first intercollegiate competition against Dartmouth in 1869. Nearly 140 years later, the Polar Bears have accumulated over 1,000 wins and have established themselves as one of the top teams in New England.
