Collingswood Sports: The Week Ahead

As the end of the regular season comes closer and closer, most of the Collingwood With athletes fighting for playoff spots, be sure to come cheer on your Panthers teams at a game or two this week. And with a busy schedule, there will be plenty matchups to choose from.

Tennis — 

Collingswood's varsity tennis team went an impressive 2-1 in matches last week, with wins over Gateway and Overbrook High Schools. A lone loss came at the hands of Haddon Township High School last Friday afternoon. Currently standing 6-7 overall, Panthers will finish out the regular season with three home matches this week. After facing Lindenwold Monday and Paulsboro Tuesday, the team is entering Thursday with a visit from Overbrook. On Friday, they'll begin the playoff quest during a Colonial Conference tournament.

Lacrosse—

Last week started on a two-game losing streak, but Panthers finished strong with two convincing wins. Last Friday, Collingswood defeated Woodstown 21-6, and on Saturday, they closed the week with a 17-2 rout of Moorestown Friends. And this week, Panthers look to keep the hot streak alive with four games. Following Monday's home face-off with Paul VI High School, they'll spend the remainder of this week on the road. Travels begin Wednesday, at Kingsway. They'll visit Gateway Regional on Friday, and will finish with a Saturday game at Sterling High School.

Volleyball—

The Panthers varsity volleyball team saw action—and won—twice last week. The wins helped continue their reign as Collingswood's most efficient spring sports team. This week, Panthers find themselves at an 11-2 overall record. They traveled to Cinnaminson Monday, and will host Kingsway Regional High School on Wednesday.

Softball—

Varsity softball undoubtedly has the most crowded schedule this week, with five games over a six-day period. Monday's travel to Overbrook continues Wednesday  against Gateway, followed by Haddon Township on Thursday. This Friday, Panthers hit the road again, to compete against Paulsboro. Their schedule closes with a weekend home game against West Deptford, a contest that had previously been rescheduled.

Baseball—

Collingswood's varsity baseball team dropped two games last week, bringing them to their current 6-8 overall record. Looking to gain back momentum they saw a few weeks back, they're entering four games this week, two at home and two on the road. Monday, the team began its week with a home game against Overbrook. They'll take a two-game road trip, Wednesday and Thursday, with games against Gateway and Haddon Township. Friday, they'll return home to take the field at The Knight Park in a game against Paulsboro.
