The Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) recently released their all conference honorees for baseball and lacrosse and a number of Cardinals were on their lists.
In baseball, the Conference honored Bishop Ireton’s Ryan Scott as their DH/utility player of the year. The rangy catcher led the redbirds with a .395 batting average and defensively sparked behind the plate. Scott threw out 14 runners during the course of the season, establishing himself as one of the Conference’s premier defensive receivers. Sophomore outfielder, Chandler Wilder earned the attention of Conference voters in his abbreviated season with an honorable mention award.
The Cardinals’ Ryan Verducci was named to the league’s third team, men’s lacrosse squad as a goalkeeper. The tight end in football used his quickness to be among the WCAC leaders in saves and save percentages, drawing the support of coaches in the final voting. Alex Duke joined on the list as an honorably mention attack player based on his play as one of Bishop Ireton’s most lethal scoring threats.
The nationally-ranked, second-seeded women’s lacrosse team saw five Cardinals selected the Conference’s first team, while three more received second team honors, and an honorably mentioned player.
Senior defender Kaitlin Luzik, midfielder Charlotte Sofield, and attack Kelly Mathews joined junior attack Kelly Larkin and Maggie Lohrer on the elite team. Sophomore Kayla Duperrouzel was tapped for the second team as an attack player while senior Natalie Irwin and sophomore Amelia Cole were also honored on the second squad at defense and goalkeeper, respectively. Brittany Dolan drew the attention of the league’s coaches as junior defender was honorably mentioned.
