NEW BRITAIN — Their schedule made them a low seed. It might’ve also made Plainville a CIAC boys soccer champion. Quick transition off a turnover produced the only goal with 11:50 left as 23rd-seeded Plainville beat top-seeded, unbeaten Ellington 1-0 Sunday evening at Veterans Stadium to win the Class M title. It’s the school’s first […]
WATERBURY — It has been a lifetime for some Immaculate students since the Mustangs sat out the girls soccer state finals two years in a row.
As much as they controlled the first half of Monday night’s Class S semifinal, though, Coginchaug near…
FAIRFIELD — Carlos Alfaro, Jason Lopez and Dylan Wade scored for Notre Dame-Fairfield in a 3-0 home win over Cromwell in the CIAC Class S boys soccer quarterfinals on Saturday.
The ninth-seeded Lancers (12-4-4) advance to face fourth-seeded Mo…
CHESHIRE — The symmetry, when you do the time math, is kind of startling.
In the first half Thursday night at Alumni Field, Staples’ Nick DeMasi scored 95 seconds after Cheshire took a lead in the teams’ CIAC Class LL boys soccer second-round …
REDDING — Dicey conditions under Tuesday-night lights were no problem for Barlow’s Ben Goodacre, in on both goals in the Falcons’ 2-0 win over Law in the first round of the CIAC Class L boys soccer tournament.
“I personally enjoy it a lot more…
NEW MILFORD — Newtown had to fight off Pomperaug’s second-half push, and even after Newtown scored the only goal in the SWC girls soccer championship game Thursday night, the Panthers kept pushing and pushing.
The top-seeded Nighthawks held th…
TRUMBULL — A few road matches, a couple at home: Trumbull’s girls volleyball schedule looks pretty normal this season until the rains came in late September.
Forced away from home for 10 straight matches because of flood damage to their gym, t…
FAIRFIELD — After 100 minutes of scoreless soccer Monday night at Taft Field — 200 minutes with the clock running in the playoffs now — Trumbull boys soccer goalie Chris Prizio finally got to the fun part.
“Penalties are so fun. I live for thi…
STRATFORD — The battle of SWC unbeatens turned in about 10 seconds, and Newtown’s ground game kept the Nighthawks perfect.
Dan Mason’s 19 carries for 95 yards paced that running game as Newtown won 45-8 Friday night at Bunnell. Mason scored fo…
DANBURY — After 10 years away, Mike Bonelli said his return to Immaculate hockey came in a hurry.
Bonelli was introduced to the New Fairfield/Immaculate players and parents Thursday night at Danbury Ice Arena, taking over the program in its la…
SHELTON — Hand had seen Shelton’s boys soccer team before, but the Tigers knew they hadn’t seen Shelton at its best.
The Gaels gave them a test Wednesday afternoon at Capewell Park, taking two leads. The Tigers had quick answers and put it awa…
MONROE — It took a couple of offensive drives for Shelton to get clicking, not to mention withstanding one weird opening Masuk drive.
No. 5 Shelton did get the offense rolling in the second quarter, scoring three touchdowns in a little over se…
FAIRFIELD — The three-time defending Class L girls soccer winner got rolling Tuesday night at Taft Field. The defending FCIAC champion had its offense clicking.
And that comes at quite a time for St. Joseph.
Jessica Mazo scored two goals and t…
TRUMBULL — The guest of honor got a ride across McDougall Stadium in a golf cart before the boys soccer game Monday night, got a seat in a covered cart next to the scorer’s table to keep him out of a steady mist that came down all evening.
Tru…
TRUMBULL — There were lots of saves for Jimmy Johnson on Thursday night at Trumbull as he and the Greenwich boys soccer team dealt the Eagles their first loss, 1-0.
One stood out: No. 1.
“That first save kind of set the tone,” Johnson said; it…
MILFORD — For 57 minutes Wednesday night at Law, nothing found its way into the net.
Then Jocelyn Wirth crashed the left post, and the ball wasn’t the only thing that crossed the goal line.
“I’ve never ended up in a goal before,” Wirth said af…
MILFORD — Not much wasn’t hurting Austin Ruiz at the end of Friday night’s football game at the Vito DeVito Sports Complex. He’d been down on the field, needed help up, help off the bench.
But afterward, his shin taped up with ice, he was read…
MONROE — They may be young in spots, small in spots, inexperienced in spots, but Masuk’s football team grew up a bit Friday night at Benedict Field.
Masuk scored on four of its five first-half possessions, marched for another touchdown to open…
STRATFORD — It first seemed only a matter of time before Notre Dame-Fairfield opened the floodgates at Bunnell on Thursday night, that the Lancers would score in bunches and put away their SWC girls soccer game.
They did, eventually, winning 3…
BRISTOL — If Seymour’s football team didn’t have someone in defensive position Saturday at St. Paul’s McPhee Field, someone was on his way.
“They were able to stop the inside stuff and run to the outside stuff,” St. Paul coach Jude Kelly said …
BRIDGEPORT — He took a fumble back 60 yards to help Amity take a win back to Woodbridge on Friday night, and Spartans senior Joe DiGello was still pretty excited afterward.
“I’ve been waiting since Thanksgiving for this one, dude,” DiGello sai…
MONROE — Soccer has taken Kacey Lawrence to some pretty cool places, but Thursday night at Benedict Field, she begins a campaign back at home with her Masuk family.
“It’s fun,” Lawrence said before practice Tuesday. “All the friends I grew up …
MILFORD — Great River Golf Club may be home to Milford’s Ben James, but like the businessman who spends his time on the road, sometimes coming home means getting reacquainted. He still shot a 4-under 68 Tuesday, one off his personal best over the track, to lead the Northern Junior Championship by a stroke after […]
MERIDEN — He’d played some doubleheaders before, but Jeremy Mercier didn’t remember ever playing a 13-inning game before Tuesday night at Ceppa Field. He helped it get that far, and he helped make sure it didn’t go any further. Mercier pitched six and two-thirds innings of relief and hit a grand slam in Southington’s 5-0 […]
FAIRFIELD — Her opponent had thrown down an eagle on the toughest hole on The Patterson Club golf course, then cut Mia Scarpati’s lead a little more, and then Scarpati found herself in a nasty thicket of rough off the 15th tee in the girls fin…
MERIDEN — There couldn’t be a weirder path to a no-hitter than the one Cheshire’s American Legion team took Monday at Ceppa Field. That path will take them right back here Tuesday for the state Southern Super Regional final, a rematch against Southington. If Cheshire wins, they’ll play again Wednesday. Cheshire topped Naugatuck 13-0 in […]
BRISTOL — It wasn’t as if Lower Sussex Little League of Delaware was ripping the ball off Fairfield. Its 13 hits included six that didn’t leave the infield. A baker’s dozen little cuts ended the Connecticut champions’ summer Thursday afternoon at Breen Field, a 3-1 win for the team from Frankford, Del., at the Little […]
TRUMBULL — A complete game was in sight for Trumbull pitcher Mike D’Agostino on Sunday, but he was going to have to work efficiently to do it.
Fortunately for D’Agostino and his team, that’s how he’d pitched all day. They kept their season goi…
NAUGATUCK — Wallingford fell behind early in the Section 2 Little League Majors championship game Saturday morning at Peter J. Foley. But Kevin Milewski, called on to pitch early in relief, said his team wasn’t worried. “We know our bats are going to warm up. As it did,” Milewski said, looking back to the scoreboard. […]
