Spring is always a busy time at Nightingale, but this spring was even more so for the 上学校 Athletic teams. After two years away from the excitement of competition due to the pandemic, Nightingale 上学校 spring 运动s teams were back—and ready to work.

The Nightingale varsity softball team's season went the farthest they have been in the AAIS tournament in a very long time. With the team’s wide range of talent and strong bond propelled them forward to the fifth overall seed in the AAIS league. 高级贝拉B. ’22 broke a record of four home runs during one game, and Lexi H. ’23 pitched a no-hitter against Packer. 毕业纪念日, the softball team played Marymount in one of the most exciting games in Nightingale's history. 在比赛中，艾比S. ’24 made a spectacular, over-the-head catch in left field making for a huge out in the fifth inning. Nightingale ended up defeating Marymount 20-9, advancing them to their season-ending semi-finals.

For the first time ever in Nightingale’s badminton program, varsity badminton closed out the season as co-champions and runners up in the tournament round—a history-making season. Nightingale’s #1 doubles team, Genny F. ’23和Zenna H. ’22, went undefeated the whole season, playing 15 total matches (30 sets/games), and remained the undefeated doubles pair in the league.

“The whole team of 15 members get equal credit for this fabulous season,”Assistant Athletic Director Chloe Grimes said. “Their love for the game of badminton, 努力工作, and support of each other was a pleasure to witness. 谢谢你，先生. 望都,女士. Saguirer, and the entire team for an unforgettable season.”

整个季节, varsity lacrosse grew tremendously as a team and as athletes and had a very productive season, despite navigating a few hurdles along the way. Improvement was seen in every game against some very talented and experienced squads, and our new players gained valuable in-game experience. Nightingale is also proud to share that one of our seniors, 艾丽卡 J. ’22, is headed to Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania as a recruited athlete! 艾丽卡, who served as our starting goaltender since ninth grade, has shown a commitment to honing their craft on their own time and over their summers, and will be the first Nightingale player to play NCAA lacrosse in over a decade. Congratulations to 艾丽卡, and congratulations to Carolina A. ’23和丽莎·B. ’22 for being the AAIS League's All-Stars!
