Coming off a successful year for the Purple Roses last year, the fall sports teams jumped right into it the first week of school. The boys soccer team had a big game against Point Pleasant Beach last Thursday, in which they secured a 5-3 win. They are excited to see their skills continue to come together throughout the season! Another big triumph of the week came from the cross country team at their meet at Darlington County Park. A majority of the freshman boys medaled at their very first meet, which is huge for the purple roses. They finished in 2nd place to all of the freshman teams from other schools. Their practice is paying off! Seniors Jill Haggerty and Lauren Bunn also found themselves with medals by the end of the meet. This was an amazing start for a long season ahead.

Heading right back into games the following week are the soccer teams. Come out and support your girls soccer team as they take on Keyport on Monday and Trinity Hall on Friday. The boys will also be playing Keyport at the home field on Monday afternoon. These will be great games for them to play and even better if they have a huge crowd of people cheering them on while they do it! The girls field hockey team will be playing Ranney on Tuesday and look forward to seeing how well they can work together and with their new coach, Danielle Reichart. They also have a game against Shore regional on Thursday on their home field, you don’t want to miss it! Our roses love seeing the support from from the student body, so try to come out and show the school spirit St. Rose is known to have!
