• The TEMS girls soccer team ended their undefeated season with a bang, winning the CRAL final over town rivals Ellington with a score of 4-0. The team was electric from the start with energy and effort that led them through the game. Scoring opened with an excellent poacher's finish as Alina Zajac tracked down a deflecting shot from Abigail Ambooken. Shortly after, Kylah Wood threaded a pass in behind the Ellington defense to Alina Zajac, who once again used her speed to put her name on the score sheet. The third goal came off a corner kick from Kylah Wood, which swerved it's way to the back post and was bodied in by Gianna DiSalvatore. Wrapping up the scoring in the first half was Allison Marques, who sent a curling corner kick bending into the front post and through the goalies hands. Amazingly, the Cougars led 4-0 in the first 20 minutes of the game, which proved to be enough to ensure the victory. Overall, the match was a firm stamp on a remarkable season. Player of the game is awarded to Alina Zajac scoring two goals on the day, as well as totaling an astounding 22 goals on the season. Lastly, a huge thanks to the accomplished group of 8th grade girls including: Abigail Ambooken, Annabel Ambooken, Nora Carty, Pratheeka Dyava, Maddie Edwards, Ari Flores, Lily Jaworski, Hannah Kowalchik, Jenna Martin, Hailey Olints, Teagan Purcell, Maeve Verzella, and Alina Zajac. Congratulations CRAL champions!

• The spring like weather put some serious spring in the steps of the girls cross country team as they celebrated a 5th place finish at the state championship meet Saturday at Wickham Park.  The girls fought hard for their top 5 trophy with TE's fastest 5 runners finishing in the top 123 of 363 runners in the 2.3 mile A race.  Bringing home a little extra hardware by busting into the top 50 was Jana Brownbill who placed 38th.  Rachel Matyschsyk kept her fiercely competitive edge as she finished in 77th.  The triple threat of Greta Johnson, Erin Fang, and Charlotte Zhang finished together in 120th, 121st, and 123rd respectively within the same second.  This power pack ran a smart race by pacing one another and working together in true TE cross country spirit.  Brenna Klaus and birthday girl Mia DeLany both represented TE well looking powerful as they crossed the finish line.  In the 1.7 mile B race, Julia Pepin fearlessly led the pack of 262 runners finishing in 7th place earning a medal for finishing in the top 50.  Saanvi Nigam also medaled as she made an impressive 27th place finish.  Jozie Waniewski, Julia Attenello, and Jane Carty also finished in the top 5 TE runners in their race as they kept a consistent pace throughout the course.  The power pack of the B race was Yuna Kasunic, Darshana Bhuvana, and Keerthana Toram who finished within seconds of each other as they pushed through the uphill finish.  A big congrats to the entire team for an undefeated season, winning the league championship, and bringing home a trophy for a top 5 finish in the state.  Way to go, Cougars!!
