“2019 state quarterfinals against Baldwin, in the 5th inning we had a two-out rally. The entire bench had their rally caps on (backwards/upside down hats, helmets on backwards) Meg hit a dinger and then I hit a dinger, everyone playing small ball, we were going nuts. Idk the score but we won — haha — it was the best.” -Colleen Quinn ’21

“My most memorable game at Hill was the first round PAISAA game for girls soccer in 2017. We were at Shipley, and our team had gone a few years without making it to the second round. I played the second half in goal, following a senior goalkeeper when I was only a freshman. We scored, resulting in a 1-0 victory.  At the end of the game, we all ran to each other; we were so excited to have broken the streak.” – Marah Krick ’21.

“After the Lawrenceville meet, everyone was waiting on the bus to hear the results before we headed home. Everyone was nervous when Dr. Lake came on the bus and told us that we had won, beating L’ville for the first time in 17 years. I was glad to contribute to something, even though I was only here for one year. A great team win, especially after not competing for over a year.” -Laura Null ’21

“The first game of the season, junior year, we played rival team Episcopal Academy. We were the underdogs going in because they were ranked No. 4 in the country. We were ready and excited. I have to say, our enthusiasm carried us to that win. We played like a team; it was a collective team win. From the top of the offensive line to the goalie, we were ready and it showed. Definitely a game I will remember for a while.” -Izzy Tabarini ’21.

“This year’s national prep championships is my best memory of a competition with The Hill School. This was my last time stepping on the mat to represent Hill, and it was a good one. I had tough matches and a ton of fun, even though I fell one match short of placing. We showed up with a ‘take it’ mentality and the results show.” -Ethan Kreuzburg ’21.

“My most memorable game at Hill was when I returned to play my previous school (Malvern Prep) in Water Polo my junior year. It meant a lot as many of my former teachers, peers and friends came out to support. We were able to win the game and show off our Hill pride in the process!” – Thomas Simpson ’21.
