ver since the end of their season last year, the Girls Varsity Lacrosse team has had one goal in mind; winning a state championship. After losing to Durham Academy in the state semifinals, the Ravens have been preparing for the next opportunity that the new season brings. To senior captain Caroline Margolis, a State Championship is the only thing on her mind. This year’s team has high expectations this season with 4 strong seniors, lots of young talent, and third year Coach Phil Robinson and Coach

Kerry Norman. Senior Catherine Green is in her second year playing Varsity Girls Lacrosse. Green looks to end her high school career in a special fashion. Although she isn’t a team captain, she helps the several young players on the teams adjust to the varsity level. “Well, in field hockey I’m playing goalie as opposed to lacrosse I play defense. There is a lot more focus on endurance and agility. The whole team dynamics are different as well. Many don’t realize it but lacrosse is a lot like basketball. Lacrosse uses screens, similar formations, and there’s lots of one on one opportunities. Even the defensive principles are the same with needing be able to see the ball and your man. This is my last chance to get a state championship and I want it. There’s no better way to end my high school career than with a state championship and that’s what I’m striving for. Caroline leads the team vocally and by example. She controls the team offensively and defensively,” says Green. Senior Captain Caroline Margolis has taken on the leadership role this season. In Fall of 2011, Margolis committed to play Lacrosse for the Boston College Eagles. She also has high expectations for this season. “Charlotte Country Day; they have won states the past two years.” Margolis adds that the “freshman class [members of the team are] really strong and will contribute a lot this year. We just have to get team chemistry and learn how everyone plays,” says Margolis. This year’s team is filled with lots of young talent. Olivia Ashman, ‘15, plays mid-field and attack and has been making a big contribution to the team expanding off her varsity season from last year as an 8th grader. Ana Callawn, ‘16, also plays attack and mid field and the best part is she’s only in the 8th grade. Her age hasn’t kept her from being a big contributor at the varsity level.

f you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting senior Alex Camuti, better known as just “Camuti”, then you are really missing out. In the words of Camuti himself: “I would say I’m a gravely serious person who enjoys the small beauties in life. My friends look up to me as a role model and they try to copy everything I do in an attempt to look cooler.” Some would say that he is a very gifted athlete because of his amazing goalie skills on the lacrosse field. Camuti has been playing goalie since his freshman year of high school back in New Jersey. Last season he had just over 160 saves, averaging about 8.5 saves a game.
