Nora Lee dropped a loose ball back to Courtney Rabb, who blasted a shot into the upper corner to give USN a 3-2 win.

MS Cross Country Meet Recap
There were hot times for our Edgehill harriers yesterday and they all braved the heat and posted a good first effort on the 2014 season. Our intention was clearly to get in a training effort and not to push the limits, considering the heat, and it turned out to be a good start to the season.

GIRLS - Ella Steinhilber led the way by posting a victory and leading our team to a 2nd place finish, a scant 7 points off Ensworth School. Olivia Dossett 5th, Maggie Robinson 7th, Parker O'Hara 9th, and Hannah Laibinis 15th provided the push for our team score. Surprise 5th grader Lilly Steinhilber placed 6th overall; unfortunately the 5th grade competes as "exhibition" non-scoring runners.
BOYS - Timothy Hays led the boys to a team win and his fist ever individual win. Alistair Womack 3rd, Pelham Bergeson 6th, Oscar (Peter Pan) Fox 7th and Phillip Sherman 11th posted our top five scoring positions. Another 5th grader, Joshua Scretchen, placed 4th, again as an "exhibition" non-scoring runner.
