Saturday, June 9, 2007 By Crystal Parker The Lady Quakers were in perfect position of claiming another state girls' lacrosse title for their high school but the way this game started out, Moorestown would have to earn it. In this year's Tournament of Champions game, the Quakers would have to overcome an early two goal deficit in order to defeat West Morris Mendham. Moorestown's coaches would rally their players during a timeout that soon proved to be the turning point in this state title game. The Quakers would score the next nine consecutive goals to take a commanding lead. Bridget Callahan would score two of her four goal performance during that stretch to lead the way for Moorestown. The Quakers would go on and defeat Mendham by a 16-6 margin and celebrate their eighth straight state title. |

Tuesday, May 29, 2007 By Stephanie Wright This was a game that the Lady Quakers from Moorestown had something to prove to themselves. And what better to do so against another dominating lacrosse team. The top seeded Quakers were hosting the second seeded Lady Renegades from Shawnee in from of a very large crowd. For the first seven minutes of this game, the defenses took center stage keeping the game scoreless. Just like a shaken soda bottle building up pressure, Moorestown's Giulia Giordano goal allowed the rest of the team to get excited knowing that they were able to score first against the Renegades. From that point on, Moorestown kicked their offense into high gear to take a commanding lead. The Quakers defense was the key to their 11-3 win as they kept Shawnee off the scoreboard during the entire first half. |

Tuesday, May 29, 2007 By Clark Washington It was a game that the boys' lacrosse team from Moorestown would not give up no matter what the score was. The second seeded Quakers were hosting the third seeded Green Raiders from Ramapo with a chance to advance to the Group 3 state finals. The Quakers were behind numerous times only to battle back into the game. Trailing by a goal with less than a minute remaining in regulation, John Marcelli's game tying goal sent the fans jumping out of their seats and this game would be decided in a sudden death overtime period. But with 1:47 remaining in overtime, Ramapo's Tom Bosnick picked up a loose ball and scored his second goal of the game ending Moorestown's season. Moorestown's 13-12 loss would end a very exciting season. |

Tuesday, April 24, 2007 By Stephanie Wright The expectations are extremely high this and every season for the Lady Quakers from Moorestown. Their girls' lacrosse team has just about every opponent marking their calendars as one of their toughest games on their schedule. With that much reputation, opposing players push their game to a higher level making it even that much harder for Moorestown to overcome. Good teams know how to settle themselves down and not let their opponents dictate how their offense will perform in unexpected situations. This game against the Lady Blue Devils from Shore Regional was tied twice during the early moments. The Lady Quakers would find their momentum and rebound from a previous loss and post a 14-7 victory at Moorestown High School. |

Wednesday, April 11, 2007 By Jerome Michaels The boys' lacrosse team from Moorestown have their work cut out for them as their schedule has them competing against some of the top ranked teams in New Jersey. That's doesn't stop the Quakers from working hard to prove they belong in the group of elite teams. Ridgewood has been labeled as one of the top five teams and their early success showed why. Moorestown dug themselves a five goal deficit during the first half only to battle back right before the half. But Ridgewood's offensive attack picked up during the second half and posted a 14-7 win over the Quakers. |

Monday, March 12, 2007 By Mike Costantino Moorestown could not overcome a slow start and lost in the first round of the Flyers cup 6-3 against Plymouth Whitemarsh. Playing a competitive game for the first time in three weeks, Moorestown fell behind 3-0 after the first period and never recovered. Goals by Davy Johnson, Justin Morrison and Josh Aiello staked Whitemarsh to the three goal lead and the lead grew to 4-0 as Corey Hockman scored the only goal of the second period. |

Friday, February 9, 2007 By Mike Costantino Williamstown converted on all three power play opportunities in the first period and Justin Osterdahl scored four goals as Williamstown defeated Moorestown 7-3 in playoff action at Hollydell. Moorestown jumped out to a 1-0 lead four minutes into the game as TJ Cassidy scored, but power play goals by Dennis Cunard, Tim Larkin and Osterdahl gave Williamstown a 3-1 lead after the first period. The second period began with Williamstown having a two-man advantage for a full two minutes; however Moorestown tightened on defense and only allowed one shot on net.

Friday, January 19, 2007 By Mike Costantino Torin Lawson scored with two seconds left in the game as Eastern upset Moorestown 5-4 in Tier 1 action played at Hollydell. The win was only the third for the Vikings, who have struggled the last few years after having been one of the top teams since the late 1990's. Tonight was a glimpse of the past as great goaltending and hustle, a trait of Vikings team past, was the key to their upset over Moorestown. Eastern goalie Evan Cohen, despite goals against over six, played outstanding and was the main reason his team was in position to steal the game. After a scoreless first period, Cameron Dougherty put the Vikings up 1-0, Moorestown would score two goals in a span of eight seconds, both in a four-on-four situation, to take a 2-1 lead as Alec Miller and Ben Doganiero got the goals. |
|
Monday, January 8, 2007 By Mike Costantino Jared Emmet scored two goals and Colin Davis added a goal and two assists as Washington Township defeated Moorestown 4-1. The loss was the fourth in the last five games for Moorestown. Emmet scored both goals in the first period, and they came nineteen seconds apart, both times Davis drew the defense over and that created some space for Emmet, who took advantage of his opportunities. With Township on the power play late in the second period, Davis used his speed to get around the defense and his goal made it 3-0. |

Monday, November 13, 2006 By Mike Costantino Colin Davis had two goals and three assists and Jared Emmet notched his first career hat trick at the varsity level as Washington Township flew past Moorestown 8-2 in Tier 1 action played at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. Ben Doganiero and Ben Smith scored the Moorestown goals. After an evenly played first period which ended at 2-2, Township controlled the final two periods, taking advantage of the man advantage, connecting four times on the power play, and getting some key saves by Joe Scafisi when they needed him. On the power play early in the second period, Christian Biscardi broke the 2-2 tie after Parker Brown had came right down the slot and after the initial shot, Biscardi put home the rebound to give Township a 3-2 lead. |

Wednesday, November 1, 2006 By Susan Hall When a team has won so many group titles, an opposing team can be a bit intimidated with all of their recent success. Pemberton's field hockey program has turned itself back into a winning tradition and they would get a chance to see how far their accomplishments would take them. Traveling to Moorestown and competing in a Central Jersey Group II tournament, the Lady Quakers took a small advantage at the break and used the second half to continue to stay ahead of Pemberton. Cornelia Duffin would score three of the four goals scored in this game and help Moorestown advance to the finals with their 4-0 victory. The Lady Quakers will now try to pick up their fifth consecutive sectional title. |

Tuesday, October 24, 2006 By Susan Hall You couldn't help but notice that the game between the Lady Quakers from Moorestown and the Lady Lancers from Holy Cross would be something special. These two teams represented field hockey programs that have successfully rolled through their schedule compiling win after win. Their accomplishments during the regular season have rewarded them with championships from their perspective division in the Burlington County League. But today, each team would put away their recent success and completed on the field in an inter-league game. Moorestown would strike first in this game and never looked back from that point on. The Lady Quakers would post the 3-0 lead and pick up another win against a very good team. |
|
Monday, October 23, 2006 By Mike Costantino Having come off two straight ties, Williamstown got back on the winning track as they handed Moorestown their first defeat, holding on for a 5-4 win at the Skate Zone in Voorhees on Monday night. Williamstown goaltender Josh Haines stopped 48 shots and Justin Osterdahl netted a hat trick. After the team traded goals in the first period, Ben Smith scoring the first of his two goals for Moorestown and Doug Akin getting the equalizer for Williamstown, Osterdahl gave Williamstown the lead early in the second period on a nice set-up from Vincent Agnesino. |
|
Monday, October 16, 2006 By Mike Costantino Moorestown scored three goals in the final seven minutes of the game to rally to defeat Eastern 3-1 in action played at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. Eastern goaltender Evan Cohen did everything he could in facing 62 shots and not allowing a goal until the seven minute mark of the final period. Earlier in the game he made several point blank saves to keep the game scoreless. Moorestown goalie Keith Mulligan was doing his part stopping all 28 Eastern shots through two periods. The Vikings broke through early in the third period after some hard work by Jon Hayes and Eric Miller to keep the puck in the zone, with Joel Romberger scored his first goal of the season. |

Friday, September 8, 2006 By Joyce Sagerty With last year's group of leadership now taking on new challenges, a new group has accepted the role of a leader looking to continue on their school’s success. The Lady Quakers from Moorestown were hosting the Falcons from Burlington Township to start off the new field hockey season. Moorestown’s offense, traditionally known to score goals in bunches, took awhile in getting their first score of the season. Just over twelve minutes into this game, the Lady Quakers would score their first of four first half goals. Moorestown’s defense would highlight this game as Kari Tobin and Marissa Toniatti each finished the game with two goals apiece. The Lady Quakers would pick up their opening day win with their 7-0 victory. |

Saturday, June 10, 2006 By Stephanie Wright Every season is a memorable one, but it's much sweeter when a team claims the division title, the group title and also the state championship...for the seventh time! Moorestown's girls' lacrosse team completely dominated the tournament of champions by outscoring their opponent 107-21 and capturing their seventh straight New Jersey State Title by completely dominating the Blue Devils from Shore Regional. The senior led team won just about every aspect of the game and rolled onto their 20-4 victory. Brooke Cantwell continued to show off her ability to come up with different ways of scoring finished the game with seven goals and four assists. Gulia Giordano and Lauren McAfee also put the ball into the net several times as a total of nine different Lady Quakers scored goals for Moorestown. |

Tuesday, May 30, 2006 By Stephanie Wright It's no secret that if you want to be the best, you must at least compete against the Lady Quakers from Moorestown. With so many players on the team that have the ability to score from anywhere on the field, a team must be able to match Moorestown's talent both offensively and defensively. The fifth seeded Lady Cougars from Cherry Hill East had just won a thrilling come from behind victory and were looking to continue that momentum against the top seed in the South Jersey Group A girls' lacrosse bracket. On this day, twelve different players for Moorestown would score at least a goal and the Quakers would advance to the finals with their 20-1 victory. Moorestown will now host the second seeded Lady Renegades from Shawnee for the title. |

Tuesday, May 23, 2006 By Clark Washington What do you expect? You are supposed to get what you wish for on your birthday, right? Senior Sean DeLaney could hear over the public announcer system that the "birthday boy" just scored another goal for Moorestown in the opening round of the boys' lacrosse Group 2 tournament. Added to his list of presents would be the celebration of scoring eight goals helping the Quakers pick up the 17-8 win over the visiting Patriots from Wayne Hills. That last goal for DeLaney would give him his one hundredth point. The third seeded Quakers will now wait for the winner of the Crawford versus West Morris Central game to see which team they will host in the next round. |

Thursday, May 18, 2006 By Stephanie Wright With their fourth consecutive Burlington County League title already in their possession, the Lady Quakers from Moorestown were at it again taking on another opponent from the South Jersey area. Not taking any team lightly, the Quakers went out on their field ready to take on the Bears from Delran. Too many times it has been witnessed the favor in a game has come away with a loss. The Bears has several players such as Lindsay Davenport, Kelly Caracci and Kate Simmons who have demonstrated their ability of scoring goals. But on this day, Moorestown completely dominated the game from start to finish. The Quakers collectively defeated Delran in a game were fifteen different players scored at least a goal. The Quakers would post their fifth win in a row with their 20-2 victory. |

Wednesday, May 3, 2006 By Stephanie Wright It was suppose to be one of their toughest games of the season, but all of the indications on the field showed that the Lady Quakers from Moorestown were clearly the better team. The Lady Gators from Seton Keough, located in Maryland, were nationally ranked as the twenty-fifth team found themselves faced with a relentless and defensive minded Quakers team. Seton Keough had won three of their last four games and was looking to pick up their third win in a row. Moorestown’s first goal of the just about a minute into this game was the first of seven goals scored during the first half. It would be the first of six goals that Brooke Cantwell would score helping Moorestown improve their record to 10-0 on the season with their 16-2 victory. |

Tuesday, April 11, 2006 By Stu Franklin The Minutemen from Washington Township were enjoying a great start to their baseball season and you could see the players were enjoying every moment. In a non-league game against playing at Washington Township, the Quakers from Moorestown were trying to come away with the road win. Both of these teams had not loss a game yet so far, but it would be the Minutemen who exploded for five runs during their bottom half of the first inning that gave starting pitcher Nate Young an early lead. Moorestown would score a couple of late runs, but Washington Township would pick up their fifth win of the season with their 6-4 victory. |

Tuesday, February 28, 2006 By Jason Brown During the first round of the playoffs, teams are rewarded a seeding which allows the highest seed to host a game. Both basketball programs at Moorestown qualified for the group tournament and both were hosting their first round games. First up were the seventh seeded Lady Quakers taking on the Spartans from Deptford who were the tenth seed. Kara Burnham had a strong performance at both ends of the court helping Moorestown control this game down the stretch. The Quakers would move onto the next round of the South Jersey Group III tournament with their 54-40 victory. With the win, Moorestown will travel to Ocean City and take on the second seeded Red Raiders. |
|
Tuesday, February 28, 2006 By Jason Brown Every year, teams are trying to improve and build on their accomplishments from the previous season. For Moorestown, that improvement would include a trip to the playoffs and a home game played in front of their hometown fans. The sixth seeded Quakers were the second game of the night as the girl's basketball team would advance to the next round. The boys would be next as they were competing against the eleventh seeded Dragons from Kingsway. The Dragons would use the third quarter to make this South Jersey Group III first round game very interesting. But the Quakers would be able to keep the winning tradition on this night and advanced to the next round with their 48-41 victory. |
|
Tuesday, February 21, 2006 By Joyce Sagerty There's always a plan on how an opponent can be defeat on the basketball court. The coaching staff works on trying to exploit the weakness of a team in an effort to give their team an edge. When the Lady Quakers from Moorestown traveled to Collingswood to take on the Panthers, both teams would be looking to overcome their opponent's game plan. But one team, the Quakers, used the halftime break to execute a defensive plan that kept Collingswood off the scoreboard during the third quarter. From that point on, Moorestown would rally and defeat the Panthers by a 40-35 margin. |

Monday, February 13, 2006 By Vincent Lewis During the regular season, Washington Township had defeated Moorestown twice and was looking to pick up their third straight victory during the playoffs of the SJHSIHL. These two teams were the remaining teams representing the winner's bracket after Cherokee had defeated Williamstown. After a scoreless first period, Robert Hniedziejko gave Township that all important first goal of the game. Washington Township goalie Joseph Scafisi helped Township hold onto their lead by saving 35 of the 36 shots that came his way. Township will now move to the finals of the winner's bracket with their 3-1 victory over Moorestown. |
|
Monday, February 6, 2006 By Vincent Lewis The second round of the SJHSIHL began with Cherokee 2, fresh off of their victory against Paul VI, traveling to the Igloo to take on Moorestown. Enjoying their first round bye, the home team appeared to have the early momentum as they would take the early one goal lead. Cherokee 2 would respond by not only tying the game but also by taking a one goal lead heading into the third period. Colin Corley tied this game for Moorestown early in the third, but after that goal the two goalies, Stephen Broadt and Max Paluszynski, turned away every shot headed towards the net. It took an overtime period to decide this game and when Mike Weaver's second goal of the game crossed the goal line, Moorestown would begin to enjoy their 3-2 victory. |

Wednesday, December 28, 2005 By Jerome Michaels Teams are always comparing themselves to their previous year's success or disappointments. But the common goal by players and the coaching staff is how to become better that last year. The effort on the court can determine how pleased or frustrated a coach could be while watching their team performs on the court. In a very competitive boy's basketball game at the Moorestown Invitational, the Quakers would own a two point lead at the break. Westampton Tech would jump out to a lead heading into the final quarter and hold off Moorestown to advance to the finals. Tech would defeat Moorestown 42-38 and give their coach something to smile about. |
|
Wednesday, December 28, 2005 By Joyce Sagerty With one team already advancing to the finals, host Moorestown would be looking to match up with Holy Cross in order to win the Moorestown Invitational title. Standing in their way would be the Lady Rams from Riverside. These two Burlington County League teams have played on familiar ground in the past, but this was the start of a new undiscovered season for both teams. Moorestown quickly set the tempo for the game dominating both ends of the court. The Lady Quakers were never in any danger of losing this game as they routed Riverside by a 62-26 score. |
|
Monday, November 28, 2005 By Mike Costantino Chris Martin connected on the power play midway through the third period as Moorestown rallied to tie Cherokee at 2-2 in Tier 1 action played at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. After a scoreless first period, Matt Cardillo gave Cherokee a 1-0 lead with Justin Kinniry assisting. Moorestown tied the game at 1-1 less than three minutes later as Mike Harrigan beat Joe Allen. |
|
Friday, November 11, 2005 By Susan Hall This time it would be Wall looking to dethrone Moorestown's field hockey team from capturing their fifth straight sectional title. With that much success, opposing teams send out their scouts looking for some kind of weakness to exploit in order to gain an edge. It's close to impossible to defend speed, talent and the awesome skill of the game the Lady Quakers possess. Seventh seeded Wall continued to impress by cutting Moorestown's two goal lead in half in the second half. But the home team quickly turned this very competitive game back into their favor. Cassie Grossman had other plans as her third straight goal gave Moorestown the lead for good and capture the victory 4-1. Moorestown will now be looking to add their 16th state title in their school's history. |
|
Thursday, November 10, 2005 By Joyce Sagerty Fresh from their win earlier in the week, the Lady Quakers were back on the field this time in the finals looking to defend their South Jersey Group III title. Clearview would be their next opponent trying to take the title away from the Quakers. On this very windy day where Moorestown had the advantage during the first half, Clearview's valiant effort during the second half would come up short. The seventh seeded Lady Pioneers would cut their deficit in half, but Moorestown would hold off Clearview's late run and claim the crown. |
|
Monday, November 7, 2005 By Joyce Sagerty Repeating as champions is never an easy task to accomplish, but for the Lady Quakers girl's soccer team they have been enjoying their success so far. Winners of the Burlington County League Freedom Division and the number one seed in this year's South Jersey Group III tournament, Samantha Davis is the team's leading scorer but others have the ability to put the ball into the net. On this day, Brooke Cantwell led the Quakers in scoring against the fourth seeded Lady Falcons from Oakcrest to advance to the finals against Clearview. Moorestown used four different players to score goals as they went on to pick up the 5-1 victory. |
|
Wednesday, October 5, 2005 By Crystal Parker Each game that the Lady Falcons from Burlington Township’s field hockey team has played has been an uphill battle. But that hasn’t stopped them from putting on the uniform and giving their best effort on the field. It would another steep hill to climb as they would travel to Moorestown High School to take on the Lady Quakers. Moorestown had started out the week with a tough win over Cherokee and were looking to keep up their finesse on the field. Burlington Township would keep the game close in the first half, but the Quakers were able to break this game open in the second half. Moorestown would pick up their eighth victory of the season by defeating the Falcons by a 9-0 margin. |
