Girls Basketball: Royal Lions Roll Through Week with Back-to-Back Wins
The Royal Lions girls basketball team put together a dominant week, securing convincing victories over both St. Brendan and Calvary Christian to continue building momentum early in the season.
ILS 60 – St. Brendan 30: The Lions opened the week with a commanding performance on both ends of the court.
Frida Acevedo (Jr.) powered the offense with 20 points and 8 rebounds turning defense into fast-break opportunities all night. Isabella Aversa (Sr.) delivered a strong two-way effort with 11 points, 5 rebounds. Ana Villarreal (Sr.) added 10 points, 5 rebounds. Viviana Herrera (Fr.) (5 pts), Ainoa Haliwa (So.) (4 pts), and Alexandra. Gonzalez Casar (So.) (6 pts) all contributed valuable minutes and defensive pressure.
ILS 56 – Calvary Christian 24: ILS kept its foot on the gas, following up with an equally dominant 56–24 win over Calvary Christian.
Frida Acevedo stayed hot, leading the way again with 16 points. Isabella Aversa added 14 points, continuing her efficient scoring and leadership. Freshman Viviana Herrera stepped up with 8 points, showcasing impressive growth and confidence.
Across both games, the Lions’ defense was the defining factor, forcing turnovers, creating transition looks, and keeping opponents out of rhythm. With balanced scoring and contributions from every class senior through freshmen ILS continues to establish itself as a disciplined, high-energy squad ready for bigger challenges ahead.
Boys Basketball: The Royals wrapped up a strong week on the court, finishing 2–1 across three competitive matchups. After a tough start with a loss to Florida Christian, the team responded with resilience and put together back-to-back wins to close out the week.
ILS earned a hard-fought 75–69 victory over Mater Bay, showing poise down the stretch and making key plays on both ends of the floor. The momentum carried into their next outing as the Royals secured another solid win, defeating Mater Brickell 73–67 in a balanced, team-oriented performance.
A great bounce-back effort from the boys as they continue building confidence and rhythm early in the season.
Girls Soccer: The Royals put together a strong week, earning a win and a hard-fought draw to improve to 4-2-1 on the season.
ILS opened with a 1-0 victory over Doral Academy, powered by a clutch finish from Arantxa Santacana, who found the back of the net off a well-placed assist from Isabella Studenski. On the defensive end, Olivia Rodriguez-Salum was outstanding, securing her second shutout of the year.
The momentum continued into the matchup against Carrollton, where the Royals battled to a 0-0 draw. Rodriguez-Salum stood tall once again, recording her third consecutive shutout, anchoring a disciplined defensive effort.
The Royals continue to trend upward as they move deeper into the season, showing resilience, organization, and steady improvement in all phases of play.
Boys Soccer: The Royals got back on track in dominant fashion with an 12–0 win over Miami Christian. From the opening whistle, the boys controlled the pace, connected well in the final third, and finished their chances with confidence. It was a complete team performance and a strong response as they continue building momentum for the season ahead.
