ROCKY HILL - Boys Soccer

       Wethersfield 13-win regular season earned the team a first-round bye in the Class L tourney. The well-rested Eagles then defeated Pomperaug in round two and Berlin in the quarterfinals match, setting up a semifinals showdown with Bethel.

       Ryan Fraleigh, Zachary Horta, Sal Madera and Nick Santos each scored goals in Rocky Hill’s opening-round 4-0 shutout of Wilcox Tech. The Terriers fell in the second round of the Class M tourney to Sheehan, 2-1, but will have a strong squad coming back next season, including the four that scored goals against Wilcox Tech and the team’s two goaltenders, Devyn Rockefeller and Christopher Conlan.

       Cromwell defeated HMTCA 7-0 in the opening-round of the Class S tournament, but fell to Old Lyme 3-1 in round two. It ended a solid year for a Panthers team that won eight regular season games.

       Newington finished the regular season 15-1, earning the Indians the #2 seed and a first round by in the Class LL tourney. Unfortunately, the team lost in in the second round to underdog Wilton 3-2 in double overtime, in a game that spectator and Newington boys soccer star Joey Terranova described as â€�"crazy.”

       Madison Nastri scored two goals to help Rocky Hill defeat Oxford 4-3 on penalty kicks to open the Class M tournament. The Terriers fell to #1 seed and undefeated Woodland, 2-1, on penalty kicks in the second round, ending a magnificent season for a team that won 10 regular season games.

       Aleah Livingston, Megan Hoisl and Maddy Raposo scored goals to propel Wethersfield to an opening-round 3-1 victory over Bacon Academy. The Eagles lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to #2 seed and undefeated Suffield in the next round on the Class L tournament, ending a solid season for a team that won nine regular season games.

       Cromwell’s season came to an end, losing to Northwest Catholic 4-0 Monday in the opening-round of the Class M tournament. The Panthers were in the post-season despite winning only one of their first eight games to start the season. The team had a much better second half of the season, winning four of their final eight to qualify for the tourney.

      

       Volleyball

       Cromwell nearly upset Oxford in the opening round of the Class S tournament, but lost in a five-set. It was the final game in a Panthers uniform for senior Araya Lessard, who finished her final season with 345 kills, over four per set.

       Newington won 16 regular season games, but was upset in the first round of the Class LL tournament by Norwich Free Academy in five sets. It ended a stellar season for an experienced team that will lose six seniors, led by Vica Usmanova, who served up 10 aces in the tourney loss.

      

       Field Hockey

       Newington made the Class LL tournament for the second straight season with a record of 8-6-1, but fell to Darien, 5-0, in the opening-round. The Indians should be in good shape next season with the return of standouts Symantha Fazzino, McKenna Gerander and Karlene Welles.
