With a confident "been there, done that" approach, the No. 1 Archbishop Spalding girls soccer team walks onto the field for every game firmly believing it will come out with a victory. Wednesday's game against No. 8 John Carroll was another prime example, as the visiting Cavaliers made good on their opportunities on offense and played their typical seal-tight defense to come away with a 2-0 win over the Patriots. The defending Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference champions improved to 12-0-1 overall and 6-0 in league play, getting two goals from junior forward Maggie Morrison and their 11th shutout of the season.

It's a symbol of team unity - a fashion statement, if you will. For the past two weeks, members of the Towson High volleyball team have taken the court wearing one sock up, one sock down. It was fitting attire last night, as the host No. 6 Generals socked it to another opponent in their run through the Class 2A state playoffs, needing just 58 minutes to down No. 9 Catonsville, 15-2, 15-2, 15-10, in the North region semifinals. Towson (17-1) advances to tomorrow's regional final, where it will play host to Owings Mills, a three-game winner over Loch Raven.

The amazing turnaround in Severn's girls lacrosse team began seven weeks ago and 850 miles away.At the time, though, new coach Renie Sotiropoulos feared the team's preseason training trip to Cocoa Beach, Fla., might not have been such a good idea. The Admirals arrived in a driving rainstorm and it kept pouring for two days."We had to do mall walking the first few days," said Sotiropoulos, "but we did get four or five days of double practices in. That helped me get to know them and they got to know me. That was the most valuable part of it."
