SOFTBALL (0-3)

On Feb. 27, the first Country Day softball team in nearly 20 years took the field for the first time in the Burbank Tournament, against the host Burbank Titans. 

The Cavs were competitive, falling to the Div. II Titans 14-8. 

The Cavs struggled to produce later in the tournament, being blown out 28-0 by West Campus and forfeiting to Valley High due to a lack of players. 

The team will rely on senior catcher Rachel Nakano and freshman pitcher Madison Galati, who both have played competitively. 

The Cavs open their 2009 league run at Faith Christian today. As three of the four league teams make playoffs, two wins could put the Cavs in the postseason.

SOCCER (5-1)

The girls began the season with three lopsided victories over non-league rivals. 

The biggest win so far is a 2-1 win against defending league champion Bradshaw Christian, March 12.

The team, 2-1 in league play so far, also has beaten Faith Christian, 2-0, but fell 3-0 to Buckingham. 

 Leading scorers Keele Shaw-Connelly, Analise Rivero, and Francesca Bell hope to continue their dominance, and the team relies on freshman Hayley Graves as goalkeeper. Shaw-Connelly leads the team with 10 goals in 54 attempts. 

 After already matching last year’s win total, the Cavs hope to make the playoffs.

The team plays today at Trinity Prep.
