The Fall sports season is upon us! Here’s what’s been happening at The Mount…

The Mount field hockey team kicked off their season with two consecutive wins, defeating Plymouth Whitemarsh High School 8-3 on August 22 and Phoenixville High School 10-0 on August 26. The girls have been working diligently on offense, consistently attacking on corners and scoring successfully. The Magic were tested early with two games against Merion Mercy and Germantown Academy following Labor Day weekend.

“I’m looking forward to both games. Both of those games will be a really good game, and they’re back-to-back. So being able to take the first game one by one and then switch anything we want to do for the next game. I’m looking forward to it,” said head coach Kyra Castano.

Castano’s crystal ball was on point, as the Magic had two shutout back-to-back games, winning 9-0 against Merion Mercy on Sept. 4 and 9-0 against Germantown Academy the next day.

Since then, The Mount secured a dominant 9-1 win against Villa Joseph Marie High School before losing two straight to Villa Maria and Avon Grove.

Mount soccer started off regular season play with a 3-0 win against Wissahickon High School and then had two tough losses against both Upper Dublin 3-5, and Bishop Shanahan 5-4 in OT at the beginning of the season.

The girls are off to a 3-4-1 start in their first two full weeks of the season, being led by Olivia Brandon ‘28 and Jenna Miller ‘26. Offensively, the Magic have scored 25 goals since starting the season on August 22, led by Kaitlyn Cunningham ’26 who has had 3 goals and 2 assists so far. Other goals have been scored by Kendall Kryst ‘28, Taylor Vogel ‘27, Anna Geib ‘28, and Jenna Miller ’26 and goalkeeper Erin Romano completed her first shutout against Wissahickon High School.

The girls are scheduled to play away against Springfield Township on Thursday, Sept. 17 and will return home to play Gwynedd Mercy Academy on Sept. 24.

Mount Volleyball opened the season with a 3-0 win against Archbishop Wood and faced two tough losses against both the Academy of Notre Dame and Lansdale Catholic, losing to Notre Dame in four sets and Lansdale Catholic in five. Since then, the Magic have compiled a 3-3 record with notable victories against Souderton 3-1, Merion Mercy 3-1 and Villa Maria 3-0.

The Magic will have a three-game road stint starting on Sept. 16 and will return home on Sept. 24 to host Gwynedd Mercy.

Our girls defeated Villa Maria Academy 202-237 in their opening week of play. Congratulations to Emily Catalfano ’27 who had the lowest score of the day posting a 38 for nine. Exciting times for Gemma Holt ‘29 and Samantha Brady ‘29 who both had their first Conwell 2 matches of the season, shooting 46 and 45.

The cross country team travelled to the Lansdale Invitational, finishing 2nd place overall, with their top 5 girls placing in the top 12. Congratulations Annie Seminack ‘27 on coming in 4th, Sarah Hock ‘26 in 7th, Charli Schoen ‘27 in 9th, Lexi Schoen ‘28 in 11th, and Maggie Toner ‘29 in 12th!
