IMS lax defeats Miss Hall’s 12-5

LAKEVILLE — The Indian Mountain School Falcons hosted Miss Hall’s School Hurricanes for a girls lacrosse game on the new turf field at IMS on Wednesday, April 12. The Falcons soared to victory over the Hurricanes in a 12-5 win.

“We’re excited to be out here on the new field,” said IMS Coach Eliza Statile.

The sun was shining with strong winds and temps in the upper 70s as both teams faced off. IMS got off to a hot start with a quick goal from Rosie Muzaurieta on their first possession. The Hurricanes responded with a goal of their own, but the Falcons quickly piled on four more to climb to an early 5-1 lead.

IMS dominated possession in the first half and dictated the tempo. They passed with efficiency and waited to find their opening through the eye of the Hurricane defense.

Hall’s scored their second goal on a faceoff fast break and then IMS racked up three more to take an 8-2 lead by halftime. Helen Wood was lights out from the inside and secured a hat trick in the first half.

The Hurricanes came back fired up in the second half and looked to lock down the Falcon attackers. Both teams traded a pair of back-and-forth goals in the early part of the period to bring the score to 10-4.

With Hall’s looking to pick up momentum and ignite a run, IMS slowed the pace of the game and ran down the clock. Muzaurieta controlled the ball behind the Hurricane net and tacked on another goal in the process, securing the second hat trick of the game for the Falcons.

Both teams would score again late in the second half to bring the final score to 12-5 in favor of the Falcons. IMS advanced to 3-0 on the season while Miss Hall’s moved to 1-2.

Muzaurieta and Wood both finished with three goals, Emma Ohler scored twice, and Anna Ceola, Ryan Seelenbrandt, Frances Clark, and Anna Lim all scored once for the Falcons.

IMS varsity girls lax will be back on their home field on April 21 when they host Litchfield Hills at 4:30 p.m.

A scenic 32-mile loop through Litchfield County

Whenever I need to get a quick but scenic bicycle ride but don’t have time to organize a group ride that involves driving to a meeting point, I just turn right out of my driveway. That begins a 32-mile loop through some of the prettiest scenery in northern Litchfield County.

I ride south on Undermountain Road (Route 41 South) into Salisbury and turn right on Main Street (Route 44 West). If I’m meeting friends, we gather at the parking area on the west side of Salisbury Town Hall where parking is never a problem.

Biking Ancramdale to Copake

This is a lovely ride that loops from Ancramdale north to Copake and back. At just over 23 miles and about 1,300 feet of elevation gain, it’s a perfect route for intermediate recreational riders and takes about two hours to complete. It’s entirely on quiet roads with little traffic, winding through rolling hills, open countryside, picturesque farms and several lakes.

Along the way, you’ll pass a couple of farmstands that are worth a quick visit. There is only one hill that might be described as steep, but it is quite short — probably less than a quarter-mile.

Now is the perfect time to plan ahead for symphonic music this summer at Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusetts. Here are a few highlights from the classical programming.

Saturday, July 5: Shed Opening Night at 8 p.m. Andris Nelsons conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra as Daniil Trifonov plays piano in an All-Rachmaninoff program. The Piano Concerto No. 3 was completed in 1909 and was written specifically to be debuted in the composer’s American tour, at another time of unrest and upheaval in Russia. Trifonev is well-equipped to take on what is considered among the most technically difficult piano pieces. This program also includes Symphonic Dances, a work encapsulating many ideas and much nostalgia.
