Week 1
- Academy of the Holy Names (2-0) – The lady Jags were road warriors this week as the traveled to St. Stephen’s on Monday and Riverview on Friday, winning both games by comfortable margins. The schedule starts to ramp up next week as they host 2A State Champions Plant on Friday Feb 19th the last of a 3-game slate.
- Tampa Catholic (1-0) – The lady Crusaders opened their 2026 campaign with a road win over Out-of-Door Academy on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, the illness that has been spreading through the schools effected their game with Manatee on Thursday and the game had to be cancelled. It seemed to be a common occurrence in the first week of the season. 2 games on the slate for Week 2 both at home: Lake Wales on Thursday 19th and East Lake on Friday 20th.
- Berkeley Prep (0-0) – No games played for the young Lady Bucs opening week. They will host District 8 opponent River Ridge on Thursday 19th for their only game next week. Tough games on their 11-game schedule to follow as they play some of the top teams in the area.
- Bradenton Christian (1-0) – The lady Panthers opened their 2026 season clearly establishing that they are the team to beat in District 10 with their home win over St. Stephen’s on Wednesday. Only 1 game on their schedule next week hosting Wiregrass on Thursday 19th.
- St. Stephen’s (0-2) – The lady Falcons had a rough opening week as the took double digit losses to Academy of the Holy Names and district rival Bradenton Christian. No games scheduled for next week. We will see them back in action the following week against Riverview Wed Feb 25th at home and traveling to district rival Cardinal Mooney on Thurs 26th who are looking to make a jump into the 5th spot in our 1A poll.
Pre-Season
- Academy of the Holy Names The Lady Jaguars finished 13-5 district 8 champions and #3 seed in region 2 playoffs, ending their 2025 campaign with a road loss to Bishop Moore in the region semifinals. Coach Newman is back for another season with an added addition to the family as well as being named USA Lacrosse Coach of the Year in 2025 for the Gulf Coast Region! Congratulations Coach! More good news for the Lady Jags as they return all their top scorers this season. Senior midfielder/draw specialist Lauren Martinez 78 goals, junior Anna Donaldson (Marquette commit) 45 goals, and senior Maddy Hughes (Catholic commit) 41 goals. They will have a new starting goalie as Greta Thiel has graduated. Games to watch: Plant 2/20, Newsome 2/24, and district opponent Tampa Catholic on 2/27. We expect the Lady Jags to be at the top of the 1A rankings and get into regional playoffs.
- Tampa Catholic – The Lady Crusaders finished their 2025 season 18-4 and advanced to the region 2 1A semifinals, losing to eventual state champion Lake Highland Prep. One of the best seasons in their history as well as the first trip to regional playoffs since 2013. The lady Crusaders are expected to compete for the district 8 title despite graduating midfielder/draw specialist Peyton Kelly (Old Dominion) and their starting goalie Cordelia Wise. They still have sophomore midfielder/attack Darby O’Connell (point leader in 2025) and a strong senior class led by midfield/defense Avery Haddon (Nova Southeastern), midfielder Jayden Ostrowski (Barry College), midfielder Ari Black (Piedmont) and defense Sophie Meyer (Capital). Games to watch: at Manatee 2/12, at Academy of the Holy Names 2/27, Berkeley Prep 3/3, and ending the season with 2 out of state teams: Springfield (PA) 3/30 and Fairfax (VA) 4/1. We expect to see the Lady Crusaders contend for a top seed in district 8 and return to regional playoffs again this season.
- Berkeley Prep – The Lady Bucs were 9-4 last season, finishing as 5th seed in region 2 playoffs and eventually losing to district 8 opponent Tampa Catholic. They did graduate leading scorer attack Macy Glew, but have a lot of young rising talent. Keep an eye on this team, we expect them to just keep getting better. 7th and 8th graders Bailey Houston (attack) and midfielder Ruby Lewis were 2nd and 3rd top scorers on the team last season. First games do not start until the 2nd week of lacrosse season. Games to watch: early matchup at Bradenton Christian 2/24, Plant 2/27, at district opponent Tampa Catholic 3/3, Academy of the Holy Names 3/6, and at Oak Hall 3/13. TLR expects to see the Lady Bucs battling it out for a district 8 title as well as a return to region 2 playoffs.
- Bradenton Christian – The Lady Panthers burst onto the scene last season finishing with a 13-4 record as well as their first district 10 title and gaining #2 seed in region 3 playoffs. They were 1 game away from reaching the state final 4, but lost to Community School of Naples in the region 3 final. Accomplishing all of this without senior players is quite an achievement. The Lady Panthers return their entire team, lead by Senior midfielder Juliana Bartz (Furman) who was the leading goal scorer (69) last season. Not far behind was her younger sister, midfielder Adelyn Bartz with 62, who was only an 8th grader. Games to watch: Berkeley Prep 2/24, Manatee 3/2, at Academy of the Holy Names 3/30. We expect the Lady Panthers to continue where they left off last season by advancing to the region 3 finals for a 2nd consecutive year.
- St. Stephen’s – The Lady Falcons went 7-8 last season, losing to rival Bradenton Christian for the first time during the season in the district 10 final. They did make it into regional playoffs as a 6th seed and gave #3 seed Canterbury a close game in the regional quarter final, but were unable to advance. Graduating stellar goalie Annesley Flint (Florida Southern) and midfielder Hailey Rosa (Florida Tech) are going to be hard to replace. They have a very young team coming into the 2026 Season. Games to watch: season opener Academy of the Holy Names 2/9, rematch with Bradenton Christian on 2/11, at Cardinal Mooney 2/26. We expect this to be a rebuilding year for their young team. Their game against Cardinal Mooney on February 26 may be a changing of the guard in district 10.
