Girls’ team
is chasing the crown
PUTNAM — The Ellis-Putnam girls’ soccer team is ending its season with a 14-0-2 record and is currently ranked #2 in Class S. If the team wins Saturday, they come away as the CTC champions.
The newly formed co-op team showed its potential from the jump. The girls started their season 7-0, and then had a hard-fought tie against Windham Tech after a devastating last-minute goal from the Windham Tech Tigers.
Ellis-Putnam bounced back after that game and later defeated Windham Tech 3-1, marking Ellis’ first program win over Windham Tech. Now Ellis-Putnam is preparing for its third match up against the Tigers at 6 p.m. Nov. 11 at Cheney Tech. This highly anticipated game has a lot on the line for both teams, with Ellis-Putnam fighting to establish themselves as a competitive team, and Windham Tech fighting for revenge after their previous loss. The winner of this game will come away as CTC champions.
Putnam senior and team Captain Lily Goyette said: “We’re going into this tournament with a lot to prove. We’ve exceeded a lot of expectations during the regular season and now everyone knows we’re a threat.  This is the moment we’ve been working towards all season and we’re ready to prove ourselves.”
