The Boys’ Soccer team traveled to Farmington on Wednesday in the 2nd round of the state tournament to take on a team that crushed them 5-1 the last time they played. The Bobcats had a great game plan and scored early from the feet of Will Bonazelli on an assist from Nick Gattuso. South Windsor held the lead until 10 mins left when Farmington scored off of a cross. The game went into 2 overtimes and then into Penalty Kicks. Unfortunately, SW came up short and was eliminated from the CT State Tournament. They finish the year with 9 wins, 7 losses, and 2 ties.
The Varsity Field Hockey team ended their season last night in the Quarter Finals against Guilford. Lady Bobcats were able to hold them 0-1 for the first half but with their speed and field placement they were able to score three more during the second half. Defense really stepped up last night and fought hard to keep the ball out of our defending circle. Lili Valente, Nicole Hunter, Chloe Kapisak, and Morgan Saylor had some great defensive saves. Our goalie, Allie Pagliaruli, had 10 plus shots taken on her and stood her ground as our last line of defense. Last night was a bittersweet end to the season but the team looks forward to what the next season will bring.
