The first Pirates Week in Review for the Fall 2015 season has landed as we take a look back at what the sports teams did from the 7 through the 13.
It was a light week for the Pirates, with only a couple of games on the slate due to rain and other cancellations. We begin with girl’s soccer.
The girl’s soccer team had its opening game with Northern Burlington pushed back one day due to rain, but it was worth the wait. The Pirates took down the Greyhounds 2-1 in overtime to open their season with a victory.
The second game of the season for the girl’s soccer team, which was scheduled for yesterday against Gloucester Catholic, was canceled. Girl’s soccer takes the field again on Thursday, September 17 at 3:45pm when Moorestown comes calling.
Boy’s soccer played to an 0-1 record to open the season. Their game against Northern Burlington was also pushed back one day due to rain, but the outcome was not the same as girl’s soccer. The boys fell 2-0 to NBC to begin their 2015 slate. Boy’s soccer plays next on Tuesday, September 15 at 3:45 with a game at Pennsauken.
The Pirates girl’s tennis team had a light week as well, with just one match, a 5-0 victory over Burlington City. Their match scheduled for Thursday, September 10 at Moorestown was canceled because of rain. The Pirates host Trenton Catholic at 3:45pm on Tuesday, September 15.
Girl’s volleyball had a jampacked week. They opened the season at home with a 2-0 win against Pennsauken Tech, fell 2-0 to Moorestown and had a successful day at the Moorestown Tournament on Saturday. The squad went 3-3 in pool play and 1-1 in the playoffs of the tourney for a 4-4 day.
Volleyball doesn’t play again until Thursday, when they visit Sterling.
Friday and Saturday were big days for the Pirates field hockey team. The squad opened the 2015 season on the road at Holy Cross on Friday and returned home with a 3-2 victory. Then, on Saturday, the team hosted Riverside in what turned out to be a 2-0 victory. Field Hockey visit Delran this Wednesday.
On Friday night, the football team hosted Liberty Division opponent Robbinsville for their season opener. The result, with a new quarterback in Shaun Davilla, was a 27-0 victory. Willingboro comes to town on Friday night for the week two game.
Saturday saw the girl’s cross country squad visit Cherokee High School for the Cherokee Challenge. Their first batch meet of the year is scheduled for Tuesday at New Egypt.
Boy’s cross country is the only program that has yet to begin the 2015 season. Their season gets underway Tuesday at New Egypt for a batch meet.
Check back next Sunday for the Pirates Week in Review for September 14-20.
