Three Fall Athletes Receive All-State Honors

Olivia R. ‘28 of the Varsity Tennis team was selected for the VISAA Division II All-State First Team. Olivia went undefeated in singles matches this season, beating her state opponents 8-0 (VES), 8-0/8-3 (Seton School home/away). In the VISAA quarterfinals, she won her match at Saint Anne’s Belfield 8-1. Coach Susan Spector writes of Oliva, “She is an incredibly hard worker, diligent in her study of tennis, the execution of the game, the strategy of the game, the mental game, and the fun of the game. She is an inspiration to her teammates, kind and respectful both on and off the court to all she comes in contact with.”

The Varsity Field Hockey team had two players earn VISAA All-State recognition: Flora W. ’25 and Patty A. ’25 were both selected to the Division II All-State Field Hockey First Team.

"Flora W. ’25 has been on the varsity field hockey team since her freshman year," offered Coach Michelle Woodruff. "She was a Captain, the emotional leader on the team, and our biggest playmaker, tireless on both ends of the field. She was the quarterback, a multi-dimensional player who distributed, scored, and frustrated her opponents. She was a standout in all of her games."

"Patty A. ’25 has also been on the varsity field hockey team since her freshman year," confirmed Coach Woodruff. "She, too, was a Captain and the heart of the team. She was consistent, mature, fast, and fearless. Able to track down opponents and stop their attacks, she was a difference-maker in all of our games."
