Tigers fall at home to the Irish

After a tough first quarter, USN plays a closer game with Father Ryan.
The Tigers are continuing to show improvement defensively.  We were strong on our slides and Kate Vaughn '24 was lights out in goal!  She had 13 saves on the day, while also breaking up several plays before a shot could come.  Olivia Hess '24 and Lilly Lapidus '27 were strong in 1v1 defense, making the dodge to goal really hard for the Irish.

The second half we did a great job on the draw controls, particularly Zelle Jones '25 who finished with 6 for the Tigers.  Lyla Ross '26 and Tate Barbieri '25 each had 2.

Our scoring came later in the game.  Margaret McKay '25 found Annie Cox '24 twice on the crease for two great assisted goals.  Tate added our last two goals, one in the last minute of the game.

We're looking to bounce back against Franklin Road Academy on Thursday.  GO TIGERS!

  • Back-to-school Popsicle Party cancelled

    Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.
