Alice Radford-Brown, Staff Writer • September 8, 2023

Like last season, Abby Cox has helped the Crusaders to a fast start in this season’s campaign.

On Tuesday night, the 5th of September, Jesuit Camas for the first time since the beginning of the 2022 season. Jesuit returned from a 7 goal victory over Cleveland.

The first half featured contention around the Camas box as their tough defense blocked Jesuit’s signature nippy shots. #7, Lane Lee, led consistent drives up the right side of the field, assisted by #21, Claudia Rose.

Jesuit’s Kaitlyn MacLennan scored ten minutes into the game, increasing tension.

Ten minutes later her shot was followed up by Marian Dunne with 16 minutes left.

The rest of the half passed with fiery shots from Camas, but none landed. At the end of the first half, Jesuit 2, Camas 0.

At the beginning of the second half Camas built momentum towards Jesuit’s goal, before Jesuit took back possession to score a third goal by #8, senior Abby Cox, crossing the box and nailing the left corner.

As Camas reset, fights for possession remained close to Camas goal, resulting in their keeper, Riley Hodson, sending the ball to the Jesuit goal without forwards receiving it.

With 7 minutes remaining, Abby Cox followed up on her previous goal to move the score to Jesuit 4, Camas 0.

Less than a minute later, #21 Claudia Rose sank another goal in the right corner of the Camas goal.

Freshman Natalie Webber scored another goal, however it was called offsides.

Camas Captain Parker Mairs led several runs upfield, but to no avail.

Final score, Jesuit 5, Camas 0.

Alice Radford- Brown is a curious, skeptical self- starter embarking on her first year in Jesuit Advanced Media Production. She was born in Amsterdam and moved to San Francisco in 2009. Alice now lives in NE Portland with her father, mother, brother, and two precious guinea pigs, Darcy and Beatrice. Growing up with British parents largely shaped her writing style, which is distinctively influenced by Bronte’s eerie moors, and The Cure’s contemplative resentment of gloomy English weather. Her past experience includes involvement in Jesuit’s technical theater program, feverish writing with her mother, and late nights trying to master the B chord on her beloved ¾ Washburn guitar. She is also the leader and founder of the Music Analysis Club. As a senior, she is excited to delve as deeply as possible into work with Jesuit Media, before leaving high school to pursue a career in some form of storytelling. This year, Alice will be heading up Jesuit’s electrifying music podcast, The Sader Sound, with Ana Casado-Rodriguez, as well as writing for the Jesuit Chronicle. She hopes to engage the community in uncomfortable conversations, and share unadulterated, passionate discussions with Jesuit’s own musicians on the Sader Sound.
