Tennis<\/strong><\/p>\n

This past Saturday, IGSA MLC01 demonstrated exceptional tennis against a solid Santa Sabina team. Securing a 5\/3 victory. Santa Sabina, who was leading our pool with strong wins against Pymble, posed a tough challenge. The MLC School team maintained their cohesion, experimenting with doubles pairings in preparation for next season.\u00a0Isabella Munoz<\/strong> and Hannah Olsson<\/strong> paired up and achieved a good win, showcasing excellent net play. However, the pairing of Yasmine Allam<\/strong> and Georgia Delis<\/strong> faced a tough match against Santa Sabina’s top team.<\/p>\n

After the doubles matches, the teams were tied, making the singles matches crucial. Captain Yasmine\u00a0 Allam led by example, winning her match 6\/4.\u00a0 Isabella and Georgia excelled with sharp game plans, both securing 6\/1 victories. Due to time constraints, we couldn’t play the next two doubles matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overall, a 5\/3 win was a fantastic effort and an impressive performance, especially considering the absence of Lana McLean.<\/strong> Congratulations to MLC01!<\/p>\n

MLC01 Water Polo<\/strong><\/p>\n

MLC01 has had an incredible season this term. While we sit third on the table, the standings don\u2019t reflect the determination and passion the team has shown. Last Saturday, we faced a tough match and went down 16-7, but it highlighted the team\u2019s resilience and never-give-up attitude. Every player fought hard, showing the improvement and teamwork we\u2019ve built throughout the season. With one game left this weekend, it\u2019s inspiring to see how far we\u2019ve come. Let\u2019s hope we can finish strong and go out with a bang.<\/p>\n

MLC02 Water Polo<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week MLC02 faced off Abbotsleigh in a difficult water polo match. In a fast-paced and competitive match, our team showed determination and strong teamwork despite a 12-9 loss to Abbotsleigh. The game stayed tight through all four quarters, with both sides trading goals and applying constant pressure. Abbotsleigh capitalised on a few quick counterattacks and power plays, which ultimately created a gap on the scoreboard. Our defence worked hard throughout the game, especially under repetitive drives from Abbotsleigh\u2019s points. Even under heavy pressure, our players communicated well and recovered quickly after turnovers. In attack, we created strong opportunities and kept momentum with several impressive goals from the perimeter and forced exclusions that put Abbotsleigh on the back foot multiple times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The team remained resilient from start to finish, refusing to let the scoreline define the intensity of play. Even in the final minutes, we continued pushing for goals and applying pressure, showing great determination and sportsmanship. Despite the loss, the match showcased excellent effort, teamwork, and improvement.<\/p>\n

Our MLC03 waterpolo team has had a great term, full of teamwork, enthusiasm, and lots of improvement! I am so grateful for a wonderful coach, Bridget who taught us so many skills! So many people have developed stronger passing, shooting, mushroom setup, and swimming! The team\u2019s communication and encouragement in the water makes every game enjoyable. This term has been a term full of fun, with every player playing an important part!\u00a0<\/p>\n
