STA Defeats Archbishop Spalding smSee story, video and photographs at DCSportsFan.com.  Following is the first paragraph of the story. 

“Thomas Muldoon wasn’t there to lead the offense and Michael Miller wasn’t there to lead the defense, but it didn’t seem to matter for St. Albans. For the second straight year, the Bulldogs defeated Archbishop Spalding to start the season 1-0. Jack Balaban and Ian Moore each scored two first-half goals as St. Albans jumped out to an early 6-4 lead. But after both teams combined for 10 goals in the first half, the defense stepped up in the second half and turned a high-scoring affair into a defensive battle.”  more

Evan Magruder Featured in Princetonian ArticleSt. Albans alum Evan Magruder was featured in a March 2 story in The Daily Princetonian about three Washingtonian’s on the Princeton lacrosse team.  The opening paragraphs of the story are reproduced below.  Click here to read the full story.

On Woodland Drive, it’s all about lacrosse

On a woody, hilly street there are three houses that apparently have little in common. One, set on a cul-de-sac, is stucco. One is brick, complemented by a yard filled with tall shrubs and the third, down the hill, is also brick.  Judy Kovler and Denise Magruder, who own the stucco and tree-lined yard, respectively, are frequent walking partners. They live about 150 yards apart, and their sons, who went to rival high schools, are teammates on the men’s lacrosse team.   

A testament to how closely knit the sport of lacrosse is, junior Evan Magruder and sophomores Mark Kovler and Brendan Reilly all live within a half-mile of each other on Woodland Drive in Washington, D.C. “[Those are] three great, different stories,” head coach Bill Tierney said. “[Evan] is a walk-on and a wonderful kid. Kovler was a big-time recruit, a kid who everyone wanted. Brendan, like he plays, is a very understated yet solid foundation of our team, so it’s interesting.”   More
