Girls Soccer: Freedom's Sam Scolarici to Sign with NCAA Division I Hofstra on Wednesday
South Riding (Jan. 31, 2011) - Freedom High School senior Sam Scolarici will sign Wednesday afternoon her National Letter of Intent to play NCAA Division 1 college soccer at Hofstra University on a full athletic scholarship.
Scolarici's signing will take place at 4:15 p.m. in the school's library.
The forward will join former Stone Bridge standout, Kristi Rodriguez, a redshirt freshman this year, on the Hofstra squad.
Scolarici plays for Freedom coach Sara Gustafson and helped the Eagles last year to school's best ever record with a 13-4-1 mark before being upset in the Dulles District semifinals. For club soccer, she plays with the Jac Cicala-coached McLean MPS Azul. Previously she played for the Loudoun Explosion.
Hofstra Women's Soccer Head Coach Simon Riddiough was named the 2010 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/Mondo Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year after leading Hofstra to a 19-3 record in the fall and an appearance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The 19 wins set a new school record, as did the 18 straight wins that the Pride tallied from Aug. 27 to Nov. 7, which tied for the third-longest single-season streak in Hofstra history in any sport. Hofstra also went 11-0 in CAA play, making the Pride the first unbeaten and untied team in the CAA since William and Mary was 8-0 in 1998, and achieved its first national ranking in school history, earning a spot in the top 25 for the final six weeks of the regular season, peaking at No. 18 in the Nov. 2 poll.
Hofstra capped off its season by defeating Connecticut 1-0 in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, the program's second NCAA win its history, along with a 1-0 win over Ohio State in 2007. The Pride finally fell to eventual semifinalist Boston College 3-1 in the second round, as the Eagles accounted for two of Hofstra's three losses on the year (including the season opener on Aug. 27).

Girls Soccer: Potomac Falls Keeper Kate Murphy Commits to Play at NCAA Division I Elon
(Jan. 28, 2011) - Potomac Falls High School senior keeper Kate Murphy has committed to play next year at NCAA Division I Elon.
Murphy has been the starting keeper for the Panthers since her freshman year. She expects to officially sign on Feb. 2. Since 2008 Murphy has played for the Loudoun 91Red coached by Randy May. A 4.09 student, Murphy will be attending Elon on academic as well as athletic scholarships.
Last spring Elon advanced to the semifinals of the Southern Conference tournament and closed the books on a successful 2010 season as the Phoenix finished the year with a 12-8-1 mark, including a 6-5 record in league play, marking the first time the team has won 12 games and finished with a winning record in league play in back-to-back seasons since joining NCAA Division I.
Elon’s 12 wins set the school record for victories over NCAA Division I opponents, while the program’s RPI of 131 out of 322 teams has risen over 100 spots over the past three seasons under head coach Chris Neal. Neal also led Elon to its first-ever win at Samford earlier this season, marking the first time Samford has lost a conference game at home since joining the league in 2008.

Baseball: Broad Run Outfielder Zach Rawson Verbally Commits to Play at NCAA Division I Saint Peter's
Ashburn (Jan. 27, 2011) - Broad Run High School senior outfielder Zach Rawson has verbally committed to play baseball at Saint Peter’s College (NJ) next year. Rawson has earned St. Peter’s prestigious Presidential Scholarship that will cover his full tuition at the college for four years. Rawson is a member of Broad Run’s baseball and basketball squads. In baseball, he has earned Dulles All-District honors two consecutive seasons; he led the team with a .453 batting average as a sophomore and as a junior he batted .408 for the Spartans helping the team win the Dulles District tournament championship. He currently is one the captains of the basketball team that has a 14-1 record on the season.
In the classroom, Rawson carries a 4.4 grade point average earning him a No. 6 class ranking out of nearly 400 students. He has excelled while taking countless Advanced Placement classes, and he is also a member of the National Honor Society and the Key Club.
“Zach is a model student-athlete. He is the type of young man I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to coach. I am sure he will do great things at St. Peter’s in the classroom and on the baseball field,” commented Broad Run baseball coach, Pat Cassidy.
St. Peter’s is a member of the Divison I, Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC). The MAAC consists of Northeastern colleges such as: Fairfield, Manhattan, Marist, and Rider.
Rawson will be the third Spartan to play for St. Peter’s. Former Spartans John Lynch (BRHS – ’06) and Conor Mullee (BRHS – ’06) both suited up for SPC. Mullee has since continued his career in the New York Yankees organization (2010 MLB Draft, 24th round).

Girls Basketball: Heritage Hurdles First Half Deficit for First Time
By Owen Gotimer
Heritage High School student journalist
Leesburg (Jan. 27, 2011) - The Heritage High School girls basketball team, coming off a non-district win last Friday against Broad Run that put them over .500 for the season, looked to knock off Potomac Falls for the second time this season. In order to win Monday's non-district game, however, the Pride would need to do something they hadn't done all year, which was win a game after trailing at halftime.
And that is exactly what Heritage (9-7, 1-2) did as the Pride edged Potomac Falls (6-10, 5-5), 33-32 on Sydney McDonald's free throw in the final seconds, to sweep the season series. Heritage won the first meeting, 53-47.

Girls Basketball: Stone Bridge Sophomore Tiernan Leads Bulldogs to Top of Liberty District Standings
By Dan Sousa
VivaLoudoun Editor
Ashburn (Jan. 26, 2011) - Last spring as a freshman, Murielle Tiernan helped Stone Bridge High School to a state title in girls soccer and this winter the talented sophomore has led the Bulldogs to a 16-1 start and a No. 20 ranking in the Washington Post Metro Poll.
It seems that Tiernan can do just about whatever she wants to do -- including our taxes next month if we just asked her! -- after she scored 22 points Tuesday, including the final six for Stone Bridge, and had nearly as many rebounds as the Bulldogs (8-1, 16-1) beat Madison, 47-43, at home to avenge their only loss of the season and break out of a 3-way tie in the Liberty District standings and take sole possession of first ahead of Madison (7-2, 11-5) and Fairfax (7-2, 12-5).
"Our girls kept battling and finally got the ball inside to Murielle," said Stone Bridge coach Chris Jones, who called Tiernan's double-double just a "normal game for her."
At 5-foot-10 Tiernan presents teams with a real match-up dilemma as she plays inside as if she was easily 6-foot or 6-1 and she runs the court with the speed and quickness of a point guard.
With Madison playing without 6-3 senior Anna Jay, who had seven block shots in the Warhawks 54-40 win over Stone Bridge in December, Tiernan was able to control the paint.
While the Bulldogs were up by eight points early in the fourth quarter, 39-31, after Tiernan stole a Madison pass and senior Cori Prince converted on the other end with a nice touch off the glass, the Warhawks fought back behind the transition play of sophomore Megan LeDuc, who finished with a team-high 14 while teammate senior Carmen Mann had 13.
It was LeDuc and Mann with back-to-back baskets to make it 39-35 with 4:53 to go. After Madison missed a makeable fastbreak layin, Stone Bridge responded with sophomore Nicole Prince making a determined drive to the basket from near halfcourt. LeDuc's layin with 3:05 left made it 41-37.
Madison sophomore Megan Henshaw was fouled shooting a 3-pointer with 2:39 to go and she converted on two of the three foul shots, slicing the lead to 41-39. About a minute later, Madison tied the contest, 41-41, with Mann working on the block.
Tiernan called for he ball inside and got to the foul line with 1:32 left, making both to give Stone Bridge a 43-41 lead.
In the final 90 seconds Stone Bridge picked up its defensive pressure without fouling Madison, forcing three missed shots. On the other end, Tiernan drove down the right side of the lane from the foul line and banked it with just under a minute to go to put Stone Bridge ahead.
Madison, forced to foul, put Stone Bridge on the line three times with 1-and-1 situations and the Bulldogs missed the front end of all three attempts but on the final miss, it was Tiernan grabbing a loose ball and scoring the game's final points at the buzzer.
While Tiernan was the only Bulldog in double figures, Stone Bridge found scoring from five other players with the Prince sisters accounting for 11, senior Kayliegh Guzek scoring five and working against the Madison defensive pressure and Kayla Sleece had some key rebounds and scored five, while freshman Megan Della-Penna scored four.
"This is good for the girls. It is nice for them as there were 3-18 just a couple of years
ago," said Jones.

Girls Basketball: Loudoun County Takes Control of Dulles District Race with 55-40 Win Over Freedom
Loudoun County junior Alex Lapple and freshman Maggie Phillips
By Dan Sousa
VivaLoudoun Editor
Leesburg (Jan. 25, 2011) - The head coaches were both new, the crowd a little less packed than usual and the play a bit sloppy with 44 combined turnovers but as usual when the Freedom and Loudoun County girls basketball teams meet, the winner came away in the driver's seat to the Dulles District title, and it was the Raiders with a surprisingly one-sided 55-40 win over the two-time defending state champion Eagles.
Loudoun County (10-1 in district, 13-4 overall) avenged an equally-lopsided loss to Freedom (9-2, 11-6), 52-33, back on Dec. 14, and it was the Raiders first win this season against a team more than one game over .500.
"I think they caught us on a bad night back in December and we may have caught them on a bad night tonight," said Loudoun County first-year coach Derek Fisher after his biggest win since taking over for Kevin Reed, who departed for Sherando after last season.
While Freedom was keeping a close eye on Raider senior Brittany Batts, the school's all-time scoring leader, County was able to get production from junior Alex Lapple, who slashed her way to the basket and ran the floor well on the way to 16 points, and freshman Maggie Phillips, who scored just seven points but they all came in the second quarter as the Raiders fought back from an 18-13 deficit to take a 22-20 lead that they would never relinquish.
Batts, held to two points in the first half, came to life in the third quarter as the Raiders went on a 11-2 run to open and she finished with a game-high 17 points. Raider junior Casey Cummings scored six points and had a huge rebounding night with 18 total, many on the offensive end. Raider junior Erica Linnemann, part of County's incredibly-conditioned guard corps, scored seven points.
Freedom, led by first-year coach Joe Crawford, who stepped up from assistant to take over for Jason Eldredge, who exited after two straight state titles and is now the head coach of the West Springfield boys, could not get into the offensive flow of the game and the Eagles had 25 total turnovers, six more than the Raiders.
County closed down Freedom senior Dionna Scott, the area's top scoring averaging more than 20 points a game, as she had just didn't score until midway through the third and fouled out with a season-low five points.
The Eagles younger players accounted for most of the offensive production as sophomore Alicia Klinko worked inside for a season-high 11 points and freshman Arnelle Collins came off the bench to provide a spark and finish with 10 points, tying her season-high. Freedom senior Alexis Mayo scored nine points but two of her three field goals came in the final minute of play.
A low-scoring first quarter saw County take an 8-7 lead after Batts pulled up and hit a transition jumper with 3.6 seconds left on the clock.
The Eagles scored five straight to take an 18-13 lead midway through the second quarter as Alexis Jones dropped a 3-pointer and Collins hit a transition basket. County fought back with Phillips showing a great first step on a drive to the basket and then she shook free again and complete a three-point play from the foul line.
With 29 seconds to go in the half, Phillips converted a great feed from Cummings to give the Raiders a 22-20 lead going into the break.
The Eagles came out ice cold to start the third quarter as they missed seven straight and committed three more turnovers. The Raiders built their lead with Batts following her own shot and then sinking a deep 3-pointer. Lapple's nifty fastbreak layin made it 31-20 County with 3:45 left in the third.
Collins swiftly drove to the basket to break the run but Freedom could only play County even the rest of the quarter and trailed, 37-27, going into the final eight minutes.
After two offensive rebounds by Cummings game the Raiders a third shot to start the fourth quarter, the Raiders responded with a well-executed inbounds play that led to a Lapple 3-pointer. Moments later Batts scored off of another Eagle turnover and it was 42-27 Raiders with 6:50 left.
The Raiders were good enough at the foul line, making seven of eight at one point, to prevent the Eagles from climbing back in the contest. Cummings gave the home fans something to roar about as she had a big block with three minutes to go and after Batts sank four straight foul shots, it was 53-32 County.

Loudoun Times-Mirror Sports Editor
Sterling (Jan. 23, 2011) - Senior Dionna Scott became Freedom High School’s career scoring leader in girls’ basketball during the Eagles’ 47-30 victory over host Potomac Falls on Jan. 21 in Sterling.
Scott scored 23 points in the win to push her career total to 1,544 points, surpassing the previous mark of 1,540 held by 2010 graduate Kelsey Buchanan, who now plays at the University of Delaware.
“I can shoot and I can drive,” said Scott, explaining what makes her a potent scorer. “So most of the time if people are too late coming [to defend] I can shoot the ball or if they are right there, I feel like I can pump fake and go around them. We do a lot of picks and a lot of cutting so that also helps.”
"I can shoot and I can drive ... "
Scott, a 5-foot-11 forward, also holds Freedom records for converted 3-pointers, converted free throws and steals in her career. As a sophomore, Scott set season records for points, steals and free throws to help the Eagles’ win their first of two consecutive state championships.
Despite her lofty numbers, Scott was not considered the team’s focal point until this year. Meixandra Porter, now playing for Colorado State, and Buchanan held that distinction in recent seasons.
“It means a lot because I’ve always been the underdog,” Scott said of setting the career scoring mark. “I was never that person where [our opponent] would be you have to watch her. Now on the court, you hear watch out for [number] 14 or here comes Dionna. It feels good to know people are figuring out that I’m a scorer and a main person [to defend].”
Scott has flourished in her role as a team leader this winter, scoring in double figures in all 16 games and averaging 21 points per contest.
“She’s been here for four years and the last three years we’ve always had Kelsey or Meixandra that would kind of carry the load,” said Joe Crawford, in his first year as Freedom’s head coach after previously serving as an assistant.
“She’s always got her points and rebounds but she wasn’t in the limelight,” Crawford said of Scott. “Now, they are gone and she’s a senior and she’s had to step up. She’s done exactly what I’ve wanted her to do and proven that she’s a really good player. I’m really happy for her and I’m really proud of her.”
Scott and her Eagle teammates return to action Jan. 24 against Dulles District rival Loudoun County. The winner of that game will gain sole possession of first place in the district. VivaLoudoun will be on hand at the game with Live! Updates and follow us on Twitter (www.twitter.com/vivaloudoun) as well for updates each big sports night.

After a three week break from meets, the Vikes swam very well against Stonewall Jackson last Friday night. Both the mens and womens team had a strong showing but came out just short of a win. However, many swimmers had great swims and continue to improve, a great accomplishment as the Vikes enter the 2nd half of their season.
The night started with a great win in the boy's 200 Medley relay of Max Van Vleet, Ian Miller, Mark Shayka, and Nick Fochtman. After a back-and-forth run for the lead, Junior Ian Miller came out 2nd in the 200 IM, with a best time for the season. Other strong performances for the boys were turned in by Senior Max Van Vleet, with two 2nd place finishes (100 fly, 100 back) and the brother duo of Ian and Alec Miller in the 100 breast, 2nd and 3rd place respectively. The boy's also had a strong showing in the 100 free, with 3rd through 5th place finishes (Kendall Blaylock, Noah Holt, Joe Rees) and again in the 500 free (Noah Gilhousen, Sam Adams, Jake Smith).
On the girl's side, the ladies swam the 200 freestyle relay in winning fashion (Sheridan Suminski, Kaitlyn Weaver, Rachel Swan, Kelsey Ryan). Highlight of the meet was the 500 freestyle, with Junior Kaitlyn Weaver's 1st place finish in the 500 freestyle, breaking 7 minutes for the first time (yay!), and Junior Hannah Backman finishing in a close 2nd (7:01.66). Senior Kelsey Ryan was a double event winner (50 free, 100 back) and the girls swept the 50 free with 1st through 3rd place finishes (Kelsey Ryan, Sheridan Suminski, Rachel Swan). Junior Rachel Swan also clocked in a 2nd place finish in the 100 free and Bridget placed 2nd in the 100 fly.
(Jan. 21, 2011) - The exams are almost out of the way -- the "ice day" pushed the final exams to Monday -- and local swimmers can burn off some of that testing tension with meets this weekend.

Loudoun Valley reports -
After a three week break from meets, the Vikes swam very well against Stonewall Jackson last Friday night. Both the mens and womens team had a strong showing but came out just short of a win. However, many swimmers had great swims and continue to improve, a great accomplishment as the Vikes enter the 2nd half of their season.
The night started with a great win in the boy's 200 Medley relay of Max Van Vleet, Ian Miller, Mark Shayka, and Nick Fochtman. After a back-and-forth run for the lead, Junior Ian Miller came out 2nd in the 200 IM, with a best time for the season. Other strong performances for the boys were turned in by Senior Max Van Vleet, with two 2nd place finishes (100 fly, 100 back) and the brother duo of Ian and Alec Miller in the 100 breast, 2nd and 3rd place respectively. The boy's also had a strong showing in the 100 free, with 3rd through 5th place finishes (Kendall Blaylock, Noah Holt, Joe Rees) and again in the 500 free (Noah Gilhousen, Sam Adams, Jake Smith).
On the girl's side, the ladies swam the 200 freestyle relay in winning fashion (Sheridan Suminski, Kaitlyn Weaver, Rachel Swan, Kelsey Ryan). Highlight of the meet was the 500 freestyle, with Junior Kaitlyn Weaver's 1st place finish in the 500 freestyle, breaking 7 minutes for the first time (yay!), and Junior Hannah Backman finishing in a close 2nd (7:01.66). Senior Kelsey Ryan was a double event winner (50 free, 100 back) and the girls swept the 50 free with 1st through 3rd place finishes (Kelsey Ryan, Sheridan Suminski, Rachel Swan). Junior Rachel Swan also clocked in a 2nd place finish in the 100 free and Bridget placed 2nd in the 100 fly.
