BRONX TIMES REPORTER, J BTR ULY 5-11, 2019 77
Ordoñez joins Lady Lion Softball
From the Big Apple to Hazleton,
PA, Angie Ordoñez is set to continue
her athletic and academic journey
in 2019-20. The recent grad from the
Bronx, NY. penned her name to join
the Lady Lion softball squad next season
during a recent visit to Penn State
Hazleton.
Ordoñez played shortstop and outfi
eld for the Crusaders of Monsignor
Scanlan High School in the Bronx and
excelled year after year. Ordoñez was
named team MVP during the 2016-17
season and won a pair of awards during
the regional tournament including
Best Glove and the Most Heart
award. During the 2018-19 campaign,
Ordoñez hit .780 at the dish, adding
three home runs, 32 RBI and 27 runs
scored. In 53 total chances in the fi eld,
she committed just three errors which
netted a .943 fi elding percentage and
28 put outs. Those high marks on the
diamond earned the senior a nod with
the All-City team and a second MVP
award with the Crusaders.
Now set to continue her education
at Penn State Hazleton in the fall, Ordoñez
will pursue a degree in Business
while looking to help the Lady
Lions capture a Penn State University
Athletic Conference Championship.
History was made on Saturday,
June 15th at Fordham University’s
Murphy Field as both the girls and
boys lacrosse teams from the Highbridge
Green School (09x361) took
home the Middle School Athletic
League (MSAL) City Championship.
This marks the fi rst time a middle
school in the Bronx has won the
league in lacrosse.
This was no easy task for the Highbridge
girls (7-2-1) who took on the
two-time defending champion Anderson
Dragons, defeating them 9-4.
The boys fi nished their dominant undefeated
(9-0) season against Hunter
Middle School, who they defeated 12-
2.
The Highbridge Green lacrosse
program is supported by Bronx Lacrosse,
a non-profi t founded in 2017 by
Tufts University graduate Dan Leventhal,
which aims to improve student’s
academic and socio-emotional performance
through lacrosse. Bronx
Lacrosse is currently partnered
with two middle schools in the South
Bronx: Highbridge Green (09x361) &
the Rafael Hernandez Dual Language
Magnet School (09x218) and are servicing
120 students.
The results of the Bronx Lacrosse
are clearly showing as students in
the program have maintained a 96%
school attendance rate. In addition,
all 8th graders in the program are on
track to pass 100% of their classes and
graduate middle school on time.
The future looks bright for Bronx
Lacrosse as it strives to give the
Bronx youth opportunities that they
wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to.
