Girls' lacrosse Top 10: Potomac School rises after VISAA title
During the first week of practice back in February, Potomac School girls' lacrosse coach Claire Berg had her players write down their goals for the season. Some had personal goals they wanted to accomplish, others focused on team objectives. One goal that showed up often was 'win a championship,' and the Panthers earned two opportunities to do that this spring. They came up short in their first shot at a title, falling to Stone Ridge in the Independent School League semifinals. But they got a second chance on Monday afternoon in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association Division I final. Facing St. Anne's Belfield in Charlottesville, the Panthers battled back from a late four-goal deficit to win their first Division I title, 9-8, in double overtime. 'The girls were so elated,' Berg said. 'Once we broke through and got a couple of goals, our confidence started to return and momentum came back on our side. Overall, just a really thrilling win for our girls.' Heading into the fourth quarter, the Panthers trailed, 7-3. But they scored five unanswered goals to take a one-goal lead with just over three minutes to go. St. Anne's Belfield would tie the game shortly after, forcing overtime. In the first extra period, Potomac School goalie Caitlin Jarvis made two important saves to shut down a St. Anne's possession that lasted almost three minutes. When the Panthers won the draw control at the start of the second overtime, senior Stella Pence got her hands free and found the back of the net to clinch the title. 'They just never gave up,' Berg said. 'They never quit…We're not afraid of overtime. Glad we've been in an overtime game before. We had that experience to kind of settle in a little bit and play for each other and make the next play. That's an all-out team win.' All records through Monday.

Potomac School rallies at the right time to earn a MAC baseball three-peat
Though Potomac School had been limited to eight total runs in the first two games of the Mid-Atlantic Athletic Conference baseball tournament, the Panthers entered Saturday's final knowing their offense was capable of breaking a game wide open. The team was nine days removed from a 21-run performance when it took the field at Sidwell Friends, and they had posted double-digits in eight other games during the regular season.
