Dedication ceremony of the new fields at Sycamore Drive

The St. Margaret’s Scotties advanced to the second round of the League of Independent Schools tournament after an intense match with fifth-seeded Virginia Episcopal School last Tuesday. A 1-1 tie during regulation play sent the game into a nail-biting ten-minute overtime with each team attempting five penalty strokes. The Scotties pulled off a 3-2 win when sophomore Frankie Berscak scored her second goal of the game and senior Blair Gurganus scored her first. Despite a well fought battle, the Scotties fell 0-1 to top-seeded Steward School in the next round of the tournament on Wednesday.
