An undefeated boys lacrosse team. Back-to-back shutouts for girls soccer. Legacy-making regattas on the horizon: Spring at St. Andrew’s is officially underway, and our athletes have no intention of slowing down! Here’s what athletes and coaches had to say about their spring varsity teams.

Girls Soccer 
After making it to the second round of the DIAA Girls Soccer State Tournament last spring, the 2026 Saints are hungry for more. Head coach Megan Altig believes that her team has what it takes to improve and achieve their big goals this season. “If we’re able to focus on all of the little things during practice, the success will follow because we have a great team of girls,” she says. The Saints look forward to the rest of their season after a promising 3-1-1 start, which included two back-to-back shoutouts the first week of April against Tatnall and Tower Hill. 
MATCH TO WATCH: On May 5, the Saints look to avenge their 2025 state tournament loss to Caravel when they face the Buccaneers at home at 3 p.m.

Boys Crew
Nothing quite indicates the start of spring at SAS like the sound of crew boats on Noxontown Pond. The boys team is ready to shine as they return to the water. Senior Captain Drew Merriman ’26 is excited about the opportunity to race against some of the best teams in the country. “As a program, our goal this year is to put out strong and competitive boats that can rival some of the larger programs we race with both determination and grit,” he says. With a new coach in Will Scully and a talented young roster, the Saints are excited to experience a new era of SAS rowing. 
REGATTA TO WATCH: Save the date for the May 3 WMIRA Championship on the Occoquan River in Virginia, where the Saints will race their biggest rivals for the conference title. 

Girls Crew
On the other side of the boathouse, girls crew has headed into the season with confidence and excitement. With a talented roster and a competitive regatta schedule, there is so much for the Saints to look forward to, says Senior Captain Ines Kossick ’26. She cites the team’s close-knit culture and comradery as the key to success this season. “This year I feel like we're a lot more together as a team, partly because there are eight seniors who have been rowing together for all four years,” she says. “There is a ton of leadership and experience to help us find success on the water.” 
REGATTA TO WATCH: The “Super Bowl” for high school crew, the girls can’t wait to get to the Stotesbury Regatta in Philadelphia on May 15th and 16th, where they’ll line up against the best teams in the nation. 

Boys Lacrosse
The boys team has come scorching into the season, posting a  5-0 record. They’ve been dominating on both sides of the field, establishing themselves as one of the strongest teams in the state. “I think this is the best team that St. Andrew’s has had in a long time,” says Senior Captain Thomas White ’26. “I think I’m speaking for the whole team when I say that we can at least make a run in the state tournament. And I think that we are holding ourselves to that standard as well because we know we are capable of it.” 
GAME TO WATCH: Look out for the Saints’ upcoming game against Christchurch School on Friday, April 10th—should make for a gritty matchup! 

Girls Lacrosse
The team, off to a  2-3 start, looks to make a statement this season. After their thrilling run in the DIAA Girls Lacrosse State Tournament last spring, the girls are hoping to return even stronger. According to Senior Captain Claire Hulsey ’26, the success of the team will be based on the girls working on and off the field together. “What’s special about this team is that we have members from every grade competing together,” she says. “We’ve been able to form bonds with one another and build a sense of community within the team.” 
GAME TO WATCH: The girls can’t wait for 4 p.m. on April 14, when they face Wilmington Friends School at home—they have some unfinished business after Friends beat them in overtime last season.

Boys Tennis
After an impressive performance in the DIAA Boys Tennis State Tournament last year, the Saints (2-1) are hoping to do it again. Members of the team are committed to growth and sportsmanship in order to be the best team possible, says senior Bradley Cook ’26. “The camaraderie of this team is so special as we treat each other with respect, regardless of our age and skillsets,” he says. “This allows us to form really tight bonds and relationships with one another.” 
MATCH TO WATCH: April 13, home, against Tower Hill: be there!

Girls Tennis
It’s an exciting time for girls tennis—off to a 1-1 start—a team that posts an almost entirely new roster this season. The new senior captains, Brooke Simonsen ’26 and Enid Appiah ’26, have made it their mission to bring energy and support to the newcomers on the team, and Head Coach Gabe Perla is excited to work with a new group of athletes. “We did some goal-setting, making a covenant for our team … There were three main goals we were driving for: working hard, teammanship, and being a team, even though sometimes tennis can be more of an individual sport,” he says. 
MATCH TO WATCH: The team was excited to face down Tatnall on April 7 for their first home match, which they won, 5-0. 

Baseball
The baseball season is back in full swing, and this squad is ready to take care of business. With a 3-2 record that includes some demonstrative victories, the team is focused on making the most out of every moment on the diamond. Assistant Coach David Miller says he’s looking forward to working with the team leaders to inspire the newest members of Saints baseball. “We’re hoping to capitalize on the really great growth that the senior class has experienced during their careers and impart that same culture and momentum to the younger players,” he says. 
GAME TO WATCH: The Saints are hype to host Sanford School on April 16th, whom they beat in a thrilling 6-5 home game last year.
