Athletics

Congratulations to Arapahoe’s Junior Varsity girls lacrosse team as they dominated Regis in their first game. The Warriors jumped out to an early lead, and then remained in control of the game until time expired beating Regis 14-5!  The JV team played a very solid game across the board, and got its 2014 season off to a great start. Way to go Warriors!

Congratulations to the Varsity girls’ lacrosse team in their huge victory yesterday over Regis Jesuit.  Under the lights of Regis’ stadium the Warriors began the first half trading goals with Regis with a narrow lead of 5-4. Next, they broke it open, scoring 8 unanswered goals, taking a 13-4 lead into halftime.  The Warriors continued their dominance throughout the second half, ultimately winning the game by a score of 16 - 6. The offense was clicking on all cylinders with great passing, assists and shot percentages.  The defense was particularly potent, shutting down Regis’ high powered offense with caused turnovers, clears, and draw controls.  Goalie Brooke Engel had a stellar game, saving 15 out of 21 shots to seal the victory.  Keep up the great work, Arapahoe!
