Harvey Girls Win Their Softball Opener against Marvelwood

We thank the Harvey Communications Department for the below submissions:

The Harvey varsity softball team opened the season with a 30-10 victory on the road Wednesday against The Marvelwood School in Kent, CT. It may have been a chilly, windy day but the Lady Cavaliers’ bats were hot and their running game burned up the base paths with nine steals.

Twenty runs in the opening three innings allowed Harvey to easily put away Marvelwood.  An RBI single by Jessica Harrington and an RBI double by Jasmine Brouwer in the first inning got the offense going from the start. Harvey exploded in the second inning with a Brittany Sullivan three-run double, a bases loaded walk by Lauren Suna, RBI singles by Kimberly Bernstein, Jessica Harrington, and Jasmine Brouwer.  Bernstein did more damage later in the inning when she slugged a three-run homer.

Harrington and Bernstein each had two stolen bases while Shannon O’Connor, Grace Tow, Erica Cheyne, Lauren Suna, Tessa Knorr and Julia Slater each had one.

“Seventh grader Hannah Paul’s first appearance for the varsity team was superb,” said Coach Amie Phillips. She pitched all five innings of the game and was responsible for 15 outs in the game.

Harvey’s Boys’ Varsity Lacrosse Wins Big at Marvelwood

Harvey’s boys varsity lacrosse team came out of the chute with 11 goals in the first quarter and stymied Marvelwood on defense to gain a 20-4 victory in the first game of the season for both teams. Harvey scored almost at will during the first quarter, hitting the twine 11 times.  Five goals in the second quarter, two in the third, and two in the fourth gave Harvey a total of 20, while Marvelwood scored one goal per quarter.

It was a big day on offense for Brandon Hickey as he led the Cavaliers with five goals. Mitch Bowman had four, Ricky Schulman and Keith Lambert each had 3, and John Bolanos, Tim Ehlberg, Brett Marks, Collin Krause, and Moose Fawzy contributed one apiece.

Bolanos also had two assists, with singles going to Connor Wilson, Hickey, Schulman, Krause, Lambert, and Andrew Schwartz. Alex Trister made five saves for Harvey in the first half, and Tom Gattuso made five in the second half.

Kasey Haworth and Miko Janecek each had two goals for Marvelwood, while Patrick Muangi had an assist.  The Marvelwood goalie made eight saves

Harvey Downs Marvelwood in Tennis

The Harvey School varsity tennis team traveled to Marvelwood in Kent, CT, on Wednesday, April 4, to play their first match of the season in difficult chilly, windy conditions. The Cavaliers defeated the Marvelwood team, by winning all singles matches and first doubles.

Harvey's first three singles - Brent Feldman, David Shabshis, and Brad Rothschild, as well as Bryan Krosser at #6 singles, all played particularly strong matches in what was a promising start to the 2012 season for the team. Julian Glez and Thomas Samuals turned in the strongest performances for the Marvelwood team.
