GIRLS' TENNIS The Girls Tennis Team experienced a great deal of success this season. Despite having several new players in key positions in the lineup, the girls went undefeated in league play, capturing the Inter- Ac title as well as the Inter-Ac tournament. There were several highlights from this season, but none more than our trip to the Point Loma Invitational in San Diego. This tournament was made up of the best teams in California as well as a top team from Hawaii. The fact that we were invited was a true honor, but the fact that we went 2-2 at the tournament shows that we could compete at that level. The girls gained such valuable experiences from that trip, but most importantly it rallied the team together to take on all challenges in the deepest Inter-Ac league in recent memory. They realized that success could not come without a total team commitment from everyone in the lineup each and every day. In each match someone different stepped up to secure the win. We were blessed with three outstanding seniors that provided great experience and maturity to a relatively young team. Caroline, Cara, and Natalie guided the team through the ups and downs of a long season and were always a voice of calm when matches got tight. They will be missed but have left the program in a better place than they found it. 1. Harter Improvement Award, Team of 1986 Tennis Award, Singles Champion Award, & M.B.S. Award - Mr. Whitaker Powell 2. Awarding of Varsity Letters – Caroline Burt & Cara Harty, Co-Captains 3. Recognition of the Championship Charms by Adam Murray ‘02 VI. BOYS’ GOLF The EA golf program had great success this past season and lead by two tremendous captains, Case Hummer and Jacob Zeng, both of whom are five year varsity contributors. We started off the season by taking a trip to Florida and participating in a 36 hole tournament with only Florida schools in the Public vs. Private School Wolverine Invitational. We came back to win the private school division after being 10 strokes down after the first day. This great start helped us perform well during the non league season beating area rivals Radnor and The Hill School. We also had a first by beating St. Joe’s Prep twice in the same season and the first time ever at PCC. The league season once again was a tight race through the six league tournaments. We ended up winning two of the six tournaments at HVCC and another at Gulph Mills. The league title was decided at the last tournament with a 3 team tie going in between Malvern, Haverford and EA. We played well but unfortunately came up a few strokes short of the league title. This was only a temporary set back as we bounced back quickly and won for the first time ever the PAISAA golf championship to finish out the season. Once again, Jacob Zeng lead the team in scoring average for the year helping him earn both first team all league and all state. The future looks bright with two first team all league performers returning for next year Junior Shane Lawler and 8th grader Jack Yearley. Those two along with Giles Elliott, Auggie Reilly, Max Giles, and Eric Morgan look to continue all success from this year while also bringing home the league title next season. 1. Harter Improvement Award, The Helen Wilson Trophy, Jacques J. Houdry ’42 Golf Award, & M.B.S. Award -Dr. Douglas Borgerson 2. Awarding of Varsity Letters – Jacob Zeng & Charles Hummer, Co-Captains VII. GIRLS’ CROSS COUNTRY The 2019 girls’ cross country team finished the season with a 4-3 league and overall record. Each runner demonstrated excellent effort and improvement over the course of the fall. We worked hard to close the gaps between runners and to finish races and workouts strong. The depth of our team showed as the season progressed. At Inter-Ac championships, our varsity team finished in 4th place while our JV team finished in 2nd. The JV squad won PAISAA Championships, and our varsity team placed 5th in a very competitive field. Junior Jill McEntee and freshman Alexandra Gobran earned 1st Team All Inter-Ac honors. The team capped off a successful season with an exciting 20-37 victory on AIS Day! We will miss seniors Cayla Beaulieu, Juliana Di Carlo, and Rhyan Moody next year. 1. Team of 1994 Cross Country Award in Memory of Maura C. Murphy ’96, Harter Improvement Award, & M.B.S. Award - Mrs. Lauren Finnical, Hon. 2. Awarding of Varsity Letters – Cayla Beaulieu, Jillian McEntee, Rhyan Moody, Tri-Captains VIII. GIRLS SOCCER The Episcopal Academy Girls’ Varsity Soccer team entered the PAISAA tournament with an overall record of 10-6 and a league record of 7-4. The 2019 team motto was "We can together."Our girls’ soccer team began the season ranked #1 in PA and #7 in the nation on fall high school rankings before losing two heartbreakers to nationally ranked opponents McDonogh and Pennington, each by one goal. As our confidence grew, the wins followed, boasting a 7- game winning streak that included scoring a consecutive 23 goals. EA entered PAISAA with a #2 seed. Our focus is on a 3-year return to the PAISAA finals and repeating as PAISAA Champions. To all Seniors- as you move on from Episcopal, remember that you’ll always be a part of our EA soccer family. Congratulations on a great season and successful soccer careers. Our coaches and players wish you the best of luck in college next fall! 1. Harter Improvement Award, Catherine M. Hunt ’99 Girls Soccer Award, EA Gold Soccer Ball, & M.B.S. Award - Mr. Andrew Fraggos 2. Awarding of Varsity Letters – Lauren Cunningham, Raina Kuzemka & Laila Payton, Tri-Captains IX. FIELD HOCKEY The Field Hockey team finished with an impressive 20-1-1 record. That does not begin to tell the full story. The expectations were high coming into the season despite having graduated 9 seniors including an All-American GK. Person for person it looked like this could be a formidable team. Fortunately, our seniors and tri- captains, Kathleen Anderson, Louisa Baxter and Melanie Lim took nothing for granted. They knew that in order for this team to be successful we would need to build a strong team dynamic. I am so grateful for the leadership they provided us from start to finish. I believe their efforts were the difference between a good season and a great one! Our second game of the season was on opening day of classes against a ranked Hill School team. Hill School won 3-2. This early season loss was helpful to our overall development and served as motivation for this team. We rolled through our next 9 games gaining nice momentum when our starting back and one of our field leaders Sofia Acosta went down with a season ending knee injury. Rattled but undeterred the girls worked hard together and we found our new normal. We continued to gather strength, confidence and a unified determination to excel. In the end this team well exceeded all expectations as every player demonstrated an unselfish and determined mindset that propelled this team to one of the best finishes ever. In the finals of PAISAA again faced with adversity, and once again losing another field leader in Kelly Smith against the only team to beat us this year, this team showed it’s true grit. No one blinked when we flipped the lineup due to the injury everyone just dug deep and picked up their game. It was one of the most rewarding team experiences of which I have ever been a part. The way this team came together, covered for each other, and performed at an insanely high level when the game was on the line, was the perfect ending to this magical season. Congratulations EAFH 2019, you are deserving Inter Ac Champions and PAISAA State Champions! Thank you for making my last coaching season one I will treasure forever! 1. Harter Improvement Award, EA Bicentennial Award, Team of 1994 Field Hockey Award, Corinne Ruth Patton Zanolli '17 Varsity Field Hockey High Scorer Award, & M.B.S. Award - Ms. Regina E. Buggy, Hon. 2. Awarding of Varsity Letters – Kathleen Anderson, Louisa Baxter & Melanie Lim, Tri-Captains 3. Recognition of the Championship Charms by Adam Murray ‘02 X. BOYS SOCCER EA Varsity Boys Soccer kicked off the season with a great win at home against public school powerhouse Garnet Valley with a last minute PK. In the next part of the season the team went undefeated against Friends League opponents with ties against Germantown Friends, Westtown and Shipley School and a win against Friends Central. Against MAPL League teams the boys tied the Hun School and were beaten by a strong Hill School team.

  • Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Pennsylvania
    Career and Technical Student Organizations Serving Career and Technical Education Students in Pennsylvania 1 Dear CTSO Leaders, As the leader of a statewide trade association dedicated to the growth and development of the technology industry in Pennsylvania, I am keenly aware of the need for a highly-skilled, well-trained, and motivated workforce. At the Technology Council of Pennsylvania, we are strong advocates for advancements in and the promotion of S.T.E.M. education, as well as career and technical training, in order to prepare our young people to succeed in the 21st Century, global economy. That is why we support the work of Pennsylvania’s Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) and the critical role they play in today’s education community. For nearly 70 years, CTSOs have been able to extend teaching and learning through a variety of targeted programs, public-private partnerships and leadership development initiatives that produce technically advanced, employable students to meet the needs of this country’s diverse employer base. Today, the work of CTSOs has never been more valuable as our economy demands workers with a strong understanding of science, technology, engineering and math concepts as well as hands-on technical expertise. The co-curricular approach of CTSOs uniquely positions these organizations to enhance student skill sets and better prepare them to excel in their chosen careers. In order for Pennsylvania and the United States to not only compete, but succeed on a global stage, we need to ensure that the very technology and innovation companies that are driving this global economy have the availability of a well-qualified workforce.
