Maddi Moynihan '28 - Volleyball - Maddi, a sophomore captain, is the Devils’ top performer on offense and defense so far this season, with 57 kills, 61 digs, and 15 aces.

Keep working hard, Maddi!  

Maya Taglieber '29 - Field Hockey - Maya had an amazing game with 15 incredible saves against Episcopal Academy, the number 3-ranked team in the country. Our team battled hard and only lost 1 to 0, largely due to Maya’s fantastic defense! Keep up the great work, Maya!

Thank you for your commitment to our team! 

Alyssa Brown '28 - Tennis - Alyssa stepped into a singles role for the first time with a player out sick, and she came through in a big way with a gutsy and hard-fought straight-set win, 7-5, 7-5 at 3rd singles over Penn Charter. Whether she is playing singles or doubles, Alyssa consistently gives it her all and really had an incredible match in a tough spot. Congrats Alyssa!
