• The TEMS lady Cougars soccer team defeated JFK yesterday in a physical match with a final score of 3-1. The Cougar's came out firing on all cylinders putting JFK under immediate pressure with the relentless efforts from Annabel Abooken and Gianna DiSalvatore. The opener came off the left foot of Lilly Jaworski who's stunning shot looped over the goalie and dropped into the back of the net. With about a minute left in the half, Kylah Wood threaded a pass deep behind the JFK line, and Alina Zajac was able to swiftly beat her defender and slot the ball into the side of the net. In the second half, the Cougar's scored again with the play of the game coming from Allison Marques, who lofted a free kick dropping the ball into the 18 yard box, which was poked in by Abigail Ambooken. Shortly after, JFK answered with a goal of the own, but it wasn't enough to turn the tide. The Cougars were busy defending in the second half, but Shea Brochu, Ari Flores, Jenna Martin, Julia Thorne, and Nora Carty were always there to clean up the pieces and rally the attack. Goalkeeper's Hannah Kowalchik and Olivia Lopez each had a pair of saves on the day and continued to make the right distributions moving forward. The Cougar's look forward to hosting the playoffs next week with a record of 11-0-1.
  

• On Tuesday night, the Boys soccer team played host to the Suffield Wildcats and came away with the 2-0 victory.  An early penalty shout opened the scoring for the Cougars as Blake Lyons finished it calmly into the back of the net.  The rest of the half was one sided with the Cougars maintaining most of the possession though they couldn't find another breakthrough.  The second half was more of the same, until Liam Staroverov finished his chance from short range off an assist from Brody Jurczyk.Last night the Cougars traveled to Enfield to take on JFK in their final CRAL regular season contest.  The wind was howling and it was tough for the Cougars to get a grip on the game. The first half was dominated by the Cougars but they couldn’t penetrate the Patriot defense. The few chances they created were not consistent enough to break through! The second half was even better. With the wind at their backs, the Cougars denied their opponents time and time again, only allowing them to cross half field a handful of times. Early in the half, Liam Staroverov bounced in a ball in the box to make it 1-0. About 10 minutes later, Jack Cinxo laid the ball off to Blake Lyons who buried his chance from 16 yards out. Defensively, the Cougars were led by Falton Crane, Sam Velasquez, Mason Smith and David Nise. Aidan Matus and Brody Jurczyk also contributed in securing the shutout. Fran Linares had little to do but made good decisions when the ball was played back to him. The Cougars finish the regular season 10-1-1 and will be the number one seed entering the playoffs. They will host the #4 seed on Tuesday after school.
