Killingly remained perfect on the season, picking up a pair of matches lifting its record to 13-0-0 on the season and 8-0-0 in the Eastern Connecticut Conference Medium Division. Tourtellotte, which may be the hottest team in the area right now, rolled over four opponents. The Tigers are 13-1-0 and 7-0-0 in the ECC Small Division.
Meanwhile in Putnam, the Clippers have become a mystery as only two golfers are competing. Putnam was on a roll prior to the team break up and since has fallen on hard times, now posting a record of 13-5-0.
