Ainslee then scored the fourth goal. Emma Davis worked hard as the lone defender helping Meg Aparo in goal to hold Somers to one goal. Allie Scott took a break from playing goalie to do a great job controlling the midfield.

• The girls cross country team won their meet against some speedy Ellington competition last night with a final score of 25 to 34.  Shout out to 7th graders Rachel Matyschsyk and Natalie Czop who finished within one second of each other in 9th and 10th effectively holding back Ellington's 4th and 5th runners.  Many of our 6th grade runners had outstanding races and moved up in the team standings including Jozie Waniewski, Yuna Kasunic, and Vikruthya Hariharan.  Congrats to all runners on a great race!  The Cougars look forward to their away meet in Windsor on Tuesday.  Good luck, team!    
  

• The boys cross country team travelled to Ellington on Tuesday afternoon and despite running fast times on the hilly course, they took their first loss of the season 20 to 36.  Stewart Christophel and Blake Wool were the top 2 TE runners, both breaking 13 minutes for the 2 mile course.  Robert Valen and Griffin Satalino looked very strong as they ran to top 10 finishes, and Karthik Prem showed his perseverance as he out-kicked an Ellington runner in the last few strides.  The Cougars travel to Windsor next Tuesday as they try for another victory against Sage Park.
  

• The lady Cougars Soccer team kicked off against Ellington in a challenging match. Throughout the first half, the Cougars created a number of chances from Mia Ruiz and Amanda Marques. Forwards Analyse McKenna and Bella Ambooken created a lot of problems for the Ellington back four as the girls pushed forward. However Ellington was able to put two in before half. Down two goals, the team refocused and went on the attack. Maddie Edwards, Rebecca Koshy, and Abby Ambooken threaded balls forward as the Cougars pushed into their opponents box. The Cougars put in shot after shot with near goals chances from Gianna DiSalvatore and Shea Brochu, as well as a great chance from a free kick from Gabby DiSalvatore. However, late in the second half, the goals began to fall. Kylah Wood swung in a cross to find a foot of Ari Rosario and the fans lit up with excitement. With only 4 minutes left to play, Lilly “Jaws” Jaworski swerved a cross in the box to find the foot of Maeve Verzella to bring the game to a draw. Score 2-2!

• The TE Boys soccer team hosted Ellington last night with their first home game in over three weeks.  The game was back and forth initially, though neither team were able to break through.  Naol Tirfessa was dangerous and missed a couple close chances, but that's all the Cougars were able to muster in the first half.  Unfortunately, the Wildcats capitalized on a Cougar error and were up 1-0 at the end of the first frame.  The second half didn't go much better for the Cougars as Ellington were able to tack on three more goals.  One bright spot for the Cougars was the penalty scored by Riley Lyons after Doug Quiuqui was taken down in the box.  After a funny placement of the ball, Lyons finished it nicely.  Final score was Ellington - 4, TE - 1.  Next up, the Cougars take on Illing away in Manchester on Thursday.
