Weekend Recap: 4/5 - 4/7



Baseball:

Pascack Valley 16, Tenafly 1 (Friday)

The score says it all.

Pascack Valley dominated Tenafly from the opening pitch and never looked back.

This was a great win for an Indians squad still looking to find their identity.

Ramsey 11, Pascack Valley 4 (Saturday)

After a couple of great wins, Pascack Valley had the luxury of playing a talented Ramsey squad.

When Ricky Tiburcio started off the game with a home run, it looked as though Pascack Valley would cruise to their third straight win.

However, Ramsey had different plans. They ended up teeing off on Pascack Valley pitchers and ended up scoring 11 runs by the end of the game.

Despite having back-to-back games of scoring a multitude of runs, the Indians were able to keep up with the Ramsey offense.

If the bats continue to come along, look out for this team as the season progresses. 

Record: 2-2

Next Game: Monday, April 8th at 4:15 PM against Old Tappan (Home)

Softball:

Pascack Valley 14, Tenafly 2 (Friday)

After a season opening loss to Demarest, Pascack Valley is a winner of three straight.

Sophomore Jenny Schneider was the story once again. She was the starting pitcher for the Indians and also contributed greatly on the offensive end by hitting a grand slam.

Pascack Valley has still not cracked the Top 25 softball ranking courtesy of The Record and that is a shame. Look for this team to continue to prove doubters wrong throughout the season.

Record: 3-1

Next Game: Monday, April 8th at 4:15 PM against Old Tappan (Away)

Tennis:

Tenafly 5, Pascack Valley 0 (Friday)

Record: 1-2

Next Game: Monday, April 8th at 4:15 PM against Old Tappan (Home)

Girls Lacrosse:

Pequannock 16, Pascack Valley 8 (Saturday)

After getting into an early hole, Pascack Valley wasn’t able to recover against Pequannock on Saturday morning and fell by the score of 16-8.

The opposing team was very aggressive, which was something that the Indians simply were not used to. This game will be a good game to build off of because they’ll realize they can play with the same aggressiveness and intensity going forward.

Carrie Schroeder and Jamie Saslaw each had two goals and one assist. Mia Stem also had a goal and an assist. Chelsea Brennan, Ana Beyer, and Lydia Christiano each added one goal for the Indians.

Record: 1-2

Next Game: Monday, April 8th at 4:30 PM against Indian Hills (Home)

Boys Lacrosse:

Northern Highlands 8, Pascack Valley 5 (Saturday)

This was supposed to be Pascack Valley’s breakout game.

This was supposed to be the game that put Pascack Valley lacrosse on the map for good.

Unfortunately, that did not turn out to be the case, as the Indians could not match the offensive firepower of Northern Highlands.

Pascack Valley dug themselves into a hole right from the start. Northern Highlands scored the first four goals and controlled the possession for much of the first quarter. Senior Kevin Illian scored for the Indians right at the end of the quarter, giving Valley some momentum going forward.

The second quarter was a low scoring one. Neither team was able to get quality shots at net. At intermission, Northern Highlands held the 6-2 lead but Pascack Valley was still within striking distance.

Mike Buldo got the Indians even closer early in the third with a rocket from the top of the circle. All of the sudden, the lead was 6-3 and the Indians had the confidence that had been searching for.

With that being said, they were not able to push through and get any closer than that. Highlands scored the next 2 goals en route to a hard fought 8-5 victory.

Despite the disappointment that comes with any loss, Pascack Valley once again realized that they can play with top tier competition.

The only thing left to do is beat one of these teams.

Northern Highlands 8, Pascack Valley 5 (Saturday)

Record: 2-1

Next Game: Monday, April 8th at 5:00 PM against River Dell (Away)
