JV Soccer v Rumsey School on Friday October 24th, 2008

DDS's JV Soccer Team was defeated by Rumsey on Friday 8-1. The score does not do justice to the great game the team played. Jake scored the lone goal on a break away in the first half. Ben, Caterina, Neil, Carter and Jake had opportunities to score and just fell short. Rumsey, a physically larger, more skilled and 98% boys' team kept us in check. Defensively DDS played very aggressively against the size odds. Henry had some amazing saves in goal and Hannah and Jason played their best game ever. During the high fives between the teams at the conclusion of the game a very large Rumsey player apologized to Chelsea for "taking her out". See you today at home against Poughkeepsie Day.

Varsity Soccer match report v Poughkeepsie Day School on Thursday October 23rd, 2008

The final result of P. Day 5 DDS 0 does not truly reflect a game that was in effect a much more even affair. In terms of chances created on goal, DDS did not lag too far behind. Admittedly, P.Day had some fine young players who constantly threatened our goal but we too had shots on goal denied by some some erratic shooting and a very alert goalkeeper. The first half score of 2-0 did flatter our opponents. Andrew, Jackson and Isabel all went close with chances. We passed well, picking out our forwards frequently to receive the ball. Matt was a dynamo in the first half and he was well supported by Ellie who worked extremely hard as usual in midfield and at the back. Our 6th graders were the real stars of this game for us. Nick had his best game of the season and at times the interpassing skills of Alex, Andrew and Sean were a joy to watch. Danielle again had a terrific game in goal in the first half and once again came out full of enthusiasm for her forward role in the second half. In defense, Alexa covered very well and Jon worked hard getting back to deny their best player room to run on the right wing. Chris was again strong in defense, although he does need to learn a little more positional discipline. Paige and Maddy also made significant contributions to the game. Up front, Sebastian tried hard to find a way through to goal. Chloe too is developing her positional play and is becoming much more involved in attacks on goal. Overal, I was pleased with this performance and look forward to our next game against Steiner on Wednesday October 29th.

Varsity Soccer Game v Mizzentop (A) on Monday October 20th

The score was 8-2 to Mizzentop. While this game did not reflect our best efforts this season, their was some marked improvements in some aspects of our play. Our passing was indeed much better and indeed this helped to create far more opportunities for our forwards. Sebastian did score two very good goals but we deserved far more from our efforts. Defensively, we were not on top of our game. Positioning in defense and midfield left much to be desired and we were often caught marking opposing players on the wrong side of goal. As a result, we let in alot of very soft goals. Danielle battled bravely in goal throughout the game. Our best player was in fact Isabel who played exceptionally well in this game. Our forward line with Andrew, Alex, Jackson, Sean and Chloe threatened the whole game but final passes went astray far too often when we really should have scored. Overall, some encouraging things happened but we definitely need to work on defense this week!

JV Soccer Game v Melrose on Monday October 20th, 2008

The JV Soccer Team defeated Melrose Monday afternoon at DDS 3 - 0. The team came out strong and Anna Meyers put Jake Bhangdia's corner kick into the cage early in the first half. Jake scored the second goal off a nice little cross pass from Anna. The third goal came in the second half. Unassisted, Jake fired in a long ball to the far upright corner. Henry Thomas and Nick Akst shared time in the cage. Both boys played solid goal tending making some excellent saves. Carter Melledo, Alex Chalk, and David Akst were outstanding defensively. The team has been working on positioning and teamwork and it's beginning to work for them. The next game is friday at home against Rumsey.

Billy Goat Run at Baird Park on Sunday October 19th, 2008 - DDS Cross Country Team Nails It!

Varsity Soccer match report v Melrose on Wednesday October 15th

How sweet our first win of the season was!...and we did it in style winning 5 goals to 1 against a weaker but energetic Melrose team. The goals in this game were slow to come and the teams were only separated at half time by a well taken goal by Chloe who was alert to her opportunity. Still, things looked good as we dominated the play in that half. At the back, Alexa playing in a sweeper role looked composed and efficient with Chris moving forward confidently to engage the Melrose attack. This was a better game for our passing, although we still need to get the play out wide much more. In the second half, the goals started to come with eighth graders, Jackson, Sebastian and Danielle all latching on to through balls and confidently slotting home with well placed shots! Andrew Colangelo scored his first varsity goal in fine style too. Our forwards were much more lively in this game and were well supported by the midfield. Ellie again worked hard in midfield along with Maddy, Eddie and Roan.In defense, Isabel, Sawyer, Jon and Paige kept goalside and did well to help prevent Melrose attacks. Overall, this was very encouraging. Let's hope we can keep the momentum going!

Match Report from Varsity Soccer game v Washington Montessori School on Monday October 6th

Although we certainly took a battering in this game, there was something to be said by our persistence throughout the game. There were occasions in this game when we could definitely have scored. I'm sure if Jackson could relive his two one on one opportunities, he would opt for a well placed shot rather than a waltz round the alert but relieved opposition goalkeeper. There were other chances too, but we need to learn to compose ourselves in the penalty area (including our own)and not rush into mistimed shots. Our defense started off well but our discipline in staying goal-side wavered and we found ourselves chasing in the wake of fleet footed forwards bearing down on our goal. Christian, Jon, Alexa, Paige, Isabel and Sawyer all worked hard. Sebastian, brought back to bolster a Roanless midfield, made a good start but soon found his new position quite demanding and drifted too much out of the game.
Going forward, using the width of the field and finding space are basics that we are still trying to desperately improve upon in offense. Andrew and Alex created some good moves and Sean, Chloe and Eddie worked hard. Although we lost 8-0, Danielle and Matthew both played well in goal with Matthew saving a penalty. We have since worked on our goal kicks, our defensive positions and practiced offensive ways of getting players into space and playing the ball wide and into the corners. Lets hope we can produce a much better display next game against Melrose!

Some thoughts about I.M.S. race by Coach Krys

Our, DDS cross-country team is a true Cross-Country Team, indeed.
How proud I was of them, as a coach during Indian Mountain School Race.
Pictures can tell 1000 words of this tough race. Everyone watching the race was impressed by our runners, their style, technique and stamina.
All of our runners came in this tough, 2.3 mile race above their expectations.
Thank you runners! I am looking to more thrills like this one, OK?
Now, do not be swayed by these strange comments about times and places in a race. For
we were the youngest team , we kept our pace and our place.
All right runners! job well done! You're a fantastic Cross Country Team!
