JV Girls Soccer Defeats Ma'ayanot in Thriller to Earn Second Straight Championship
May 21st, 2014- This past Wednesday, SAR's JV Girls Soccer team travelled to the spacious Frisch soccer court (aka their gym) and defeated Ma'ayanot 2-1 in the league's championship game.
These two teams were familiar with each other, as they played twice in the regular season. However, this game immediately had a different feel to it.
In the previous matchups, both teams had a chance to show off their strong offenses, with SAR winning the first game 8-1, and Ma'ayanot winning the second game 8-6. In this game, the defense and goaltenders did a great job immediately limiting the offense, and at halftime, the score was still 0-0.
Early in the third quarter, sophomore captain Lauren Kann scored to break the scoreless tie. The Sting managed to hold onto the lead by the end of the third quarter and for most of the fourth quarter, but with three minutes left in the game, Ma'ayanot tied the game up. No goals were scored in the ensuing three minutes, and the teams headed to overtime.
In overtime, goals were once again hard to come by. Despite some opportunities for both teams, the teams still deadlocked at one after two seven-minute periods. A third overtime was needed to decide the winner.
The next overtime period did not last long, as Kann scored her second goal of the game thirty seconds in to give the Sting their second straight JV Girls Soccer title.
Congratulations to Coach Mark Koss and the entire team on a terrific season.

JV Boys Softball vs. TABC
Clutch Bats Lead SAR to Victory to Keep Playoff Hopes Alive
By Michael Courtney
May 2nd, 2014- On Friday, May 2nd, the SAR JV Boys Softball Team defeated TABC 11-7 to raise its record to 3-2. The victory came in dramatic fashion as the Sting were down 7-3 in the 6th. In the second-to-last frame, they scored two runs to pull within two. In the top of the 7th, SAR's bats really came to play as the team scored six runs, including a three-run home run by sophomore captain Ariel Smith. Ariel went 4 for 5 and played stellar center for five innings before pitching brilliantly in the final two. Co-captain Remy Neuhaus likewise went 4 for 5 in the cleanup spot. The game had been particularly frustrating through five innings, as SAR scored three runs but left 10 runners stranded, including several situations with a runner on 3rd. As has been the trend all season, SAR has shown tremendous patience at the plate, including two walks each by Eitan Hain and Hank Stein. TABC came back from being down 3-1 with an offensive explosion in the 5th; thankfully, SAR did not give up and the Sting bats were as clutch as ever in the 6th and 7th. The team will play Hillel on May 4th in the regular season finale with a hopeful playoff run ahead.
