Ireton Wins Inaugural Bishop’s Cup Regatta

Posted on 16 April 2009 by .

Wind, rain and rough water were no obstacles for the Bishop Ireton Crew team on Saturday as it nearly swept archrival Bishop O’Connell in the inaugural Bishop’s Cup Regatta on the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C.

The Cardinal navy won 10 of the 12 races in a near constant rain. The men’s squad outdistanced the Knights in all six races between the teams.

The Ireton women took gold medals in the second varsity eight and four boats, as well as the novice eight and four. O’Connell’s first varsity women’s eight and four boats slipped past Ireton in the final 500 meters of both races to account for the Knights’ only points of the regatta.

Bishop Ireton Crew hosted the event at their Anacostia Boathouse home, and in a show of sportsmanship, loaned the O’Connell team five boats, allowing their teams to compete in all events. But in the end, the Cardinal navy was just too strong, winning the rainy, wind-blown event, 10-2.

The Cardinals will take on Holy Cross and Georgetown Day in their next regatta, Saturday, April 18, on the Anacostia.

Bishop Ireton pulls away from The Potomac School

Posted on 02 April 2009 by .

Bishop Ireton used a 6-1 run midway through the second half of a key Virginia Independent Schools match-up with the The Potomac School of the ISL to pull away for a 12-8 win in McLean Tuesday.

After a tight first half with five lead changes, the Lions turned an Ireton 5-4 halftime advantage into a 7-6 lead.

Just when it looked like momentum had left the Alexandria school, seniors Claire Banta, Heather Olson, and sophomore Sarah Rupp began to sweep the midfield allowing the Cardinals to dominate the offensive zone.

Junior Janet Tela tallied three goals and a pair of assists for Ireton, Rupp added a pair of goals as did Ashton Hellmuth.

Both schools are highly ranked in the state’s girls lacrosse polls, both expected to appear in the state playoffs to be hosted in Alexandria in May. Ireton returns to action Friday when they host cross-town rival TC Williams on Fannon Field. Game time is 5:30pm.
