Dev Report: BRFC Developmental Team traveled to St. John's Prep this past Monday, and came home with a resounding 31-5 victory! We were able to implement some new skills and moves that we've been working on in training that kept us on the front foot and opened up space to score. Defensively, we came up hard and put pressure on Prep's attack, shutting them down for most of the game. We look ahead to BC High at home on Monday, May 12, which is sure to be a good test! 

The Boys Tennis Team managed to play and win three matches this week despite the rainy weather.

Both Belmont volleyball teams unfortunately fell to Woburn on Thursday, having several athletes absent during the busy AP testing week. Undaunted, Belmont looks forwards to the following week, with rematches against Catholic Memorial on Tuesday, Lexington on Wednesday, and Arlington on Friday.

The weather has been rough for tennis this week.  The team took some time on a rainy afternoon with board games to work on focus and strategy. Joy Son and Ingrid Hellsvik showcased that some of their strengths as a doubles team translated to dominance on the board too.  On the courts, the team won their third straight match on Thursday against Wilmington.  All of the singles matches were very scrappy and tight.  Giselle Fond continued to show that she is one of the most improved players on the team by outlasting a very tricky Wilmington opponent.  Similarly, Holly Kong fought off an opponent who ran everything down and extended every point.  The team also beat Burlington last Friday and Stoneham on Wednesday. 

The Ultimate Frisbee team had a scrimmage against Arlington High School under the lights at Harris Field on Wednesday. The Grilled Cheesers were victorious- racking up a winning streak of 6!  An away game against Newton North is coming up on Friday.
