With April vacation in the books, spring sports at the high school are at full sail as the Vineyard’s student athletes battle in their divisions across the water, diamond, court, field and track.
Girls lacrosse, boys baseball and the sailing teams are leading the way so far with three wins each. On the lacrosse field, the girls have won their last two, one at home and one on the road. They defeated Falmouth Academy 14-4 on the Cape and topped Boston Latin Academy 9-6 on the Island. Against Falmouth Academy Annabelle Metell scored four goals while Ali Dyke had a hat trick. Isabella Silva scored twice and Ashley Silva, Lily Haynes, Sam Warren, Lizzy Chvatal and Brynn Savva all also put the ball in the net.
Earlier that same week, against Boston Latin, the girls rallied back from falling behind 3-0 early as Silvi Carroll and Chvatal each scored hat tricks while Dyke scored twice and Charlotte Scott netted a goal to put away the win.
Head coach Lauren Pineau said her team has worked hard to earn their wins so far this season.
“They put the effort in at practice and it shows,” she said. “After every game we come away with something to work on as a team.”
Up next is a league matchup with Dennis-Yarmouth at home on Thursday starting at 3 p.m.
The baseball team bounced back from a tough loss to Monomoy when they came from behind to beat Falmouth 4-2 on the road in their most recent action.
