Fall Brawl

 This year Potomac and Stone Ridge particiapted in Fall Brawl and both won their brackets - meaning that Aoife and Emmy squared off against each other in the Championship game!! So much fun to have them on the field together. They both played really well but Stone Ridge came away with a 1 point victory!!

Rivalry Challenge at the Naval Academy

Emmy and I headed up to the Naval Academy today for the Rivalry Challenge. We left with plenty of time and I was confident since I had been to the academy over the summer and knew exactly where we were going. What we didn't know is that there was a marathon in Annapolis that morning and once we got about a mile from the field house the roads shut down. We ended up parking and having to walk a little more than a mile with all of Emmy's goalie equipment and with Emmy in her cleats! It was also COLD!!  We made it to the field house in time to have her get a short warm up and get into the game. Phew!
After the first game we ended up walking back to the car which was coincidentally right next to the second location and also in the parking lot of the best bagel place ever! We had a great lunch and headed over to the stadium for the second two games. The girls played great and it was a fun way to finish up the season!

2025 Black Skywalker Playday

Today Emmy's new team played together at the Skywalker Play Day for the first time. Emmy had a great day and it was fun to get back out on the field!

Stars - Skywalker Play Day

We went with Aoife's new Stars team up to Baltimore to have a scrimmage day with the Skywalker lacrosse club. It was definitely a little mismatched but it was good to get the girls out on the field together in a game situation. It was their first time playing together as a team! They did great and really improved throughout the morning. 

We are looking forward to the next tournament this coming weekend - the competition shouldn't be as fierce!!

Goalie Camp

Aidan, Emmy and Aoife all spent this week together at Frostburg State at a lacrosse goalie camp!  It was very quiet at home without them but I think that Declan had a great time being an only child for a few days. it was definitely a long way to drive to go up and back twice in 4 days but I think that they loved it. It was Aoife's first time away for camp and it was the perfect amount of time. She also had Emmy right across the hall! 

I hope that they want to go back next summer!

Capital City Lax Tournament

Another great tournament weekend!! Lots of great saves for both Emmy and Aoife!

Lax By The Sea

Another great lax weekend!! Emmy, Aoife and I stayed up in NJ for the weekend and the girls played great! Emmy also jumped in the car after her games on Saturday and drove down to Virginia and won the rec championship!

Declan Plays Lacrosse

 Declan has been going to a lacrosse camp with the same club that Aidan plays for. It is super adorable to watch them run around with all of their pads on. They are getting better each weekend!

Madlax Tryout

Today Aidan tried out for MadLax. He did great in the tryout - totally a beast in goal!  Now we wait to see if he made it!!

EDIT: HE MADE IT!!!  Great job Aidan!
