Friends Academy Athletics light up the field

On Thursday, Oct. 6, “Under the Lights” returned to the Friends Academy turf with two back-to-back matches as Varsity Girls and Boys Soccer hosted their annual Under the Lights Games on Thursday, Oct. 6th.

The night featured a construction theme, created by the Student Athletic Council, anchored by the tagline and hashtag, #CautionBuildingChampions. That night, the student section, dressed in reflective vests and hard hats, cheered on both teams under the stadium lights boosted by the Varsity Cheer Team.

The girls remain undefeated as they handily collected a 4-1 win against North Shore High School with Danielle Davis ‘23 making an impressive two goals. The Boys had a close game but unfortunately fell to Jericho High School 2-1 with the Friends Academy goal scored by Logan Mott ‘23.
