Boys' Soccer
Rivers boys' soccer came out ready to win and defeated Lawrence Academy 2-0. Sophomore Charles Rugg scored both goals for the Red Wings while juniors Grady O'Brien and Sam Masur had an assist each. Rivers goalie Adam-Ridgely Khaw had a stellar game in goal and was able to keep Lawrence from scoring.
Field Hockey
Field Hockey played with strong determination and beat I.S.L #3 ranked Lawrence Academy 2-0. Senior Lisa Bossange scored the first goal when she knocked a rebounding ball off of senior Stephanie Shaw into the goal. Lawrence fought back, taking the momentum away from the Red Wings for the rest of the first half. Rivers, however, continued to display incredible teamwork in the second half of the game. Bossange once again drove in a goal to clinch the 2-0 win. Lawrence was unable to score thanks to the efforts of junior Julianna Horn who had 8 saves in goal for the shutout. Along with Horn, juniors Kendall Todd and Manya Steinfeld successfully led the team's defensive effort.
Girls' Soccer
The girls' soccer team ended their recent scoring drought by beating Lawrence Academy 4-0. Sophomores Adrienne Anderson and Megan Delaney were an offensive force as Anderson assisted Delaney's first goal of the game. The second goal was scored by junior Nicole Stenquist who also assisted Page with a cross pass that enabled her to score the third goal for the Red Wings. The girls continued to dominate throughout the second half of the game and Anderson scored the final goal with only seven minutes left to play.
