Volleyball Tournament

The Lady Cougar Volleyball team defeated Blue Hills in Quarter-Finals in the MIAA South Division 3 Tournament. The Cougars won the match 3-1 by scores of 25-18, 21-25, 25-15, 25-20.

The Cougars, who early in the match lost junior standout Erin Sullivan to a knee injury, later diagnosed as a torn ACL, rallied to defeat the Warriors. The Cougars were led by middle-hitters Jen Rego and Rebekah Cournoyer, Casey Levesque and Shaundry Swainamer (who replaced Sullivan).

With the loss of Sullivan, the Cougars will now have to continue playing as a team as they go in to face their top-seeded league foes, the Saints of Sacred Heart. The match will be played on Thursday, November 12, at 7pm at the Sacred Heart fieldhouse.

 

UPDATE:

The Lady Cougar volleyball season ended last night with a loss in the Semi-Finals to Sacred Heart. The Cougars, who came into this game with a lot of motivation, played their hearts out before falling to the powerful Saints.

This was a really emotional game for Connolly, who was playing the game with injured star Erin Sullivan in mind. The Cougars held their own, but it wasn’t enough. They have nothing to be ashamed of. They had one of the best seasons in Connolly history and finished top 4 for division 3 for the whole Southern part of the state.

Connolly loses 4 seniors from the team: Jen Rego, Shantel DaSilva, Nicole Rebelo, and Julia Stachura. Great job this year, Cougs! Next year is yours!

Volleyball Tournament Begins

With the South Division 3 brackets announced last Wednesday, the Bishop Connolly Girls Volleyball team has now set its goals on bringing home a Division 3 state title. They begin their quest this Tuesday night when they play the number 5 seeded Blue Hills Regional Technical High School in Quarter Final play, here at Bishop Connolly’s Lafrance Gym.

Both teams received a BYE in the First Round and it sets up to be a great game. The Cougars, who are seeded number 4 in the bracket, are coming off one of their most successful seasons in years. At 13-5, the Cougars are determined to protect home court and defeat the Warriors. Led by the great play of team captains Jen Rego, Casey Levesque, and Erin Sullivan, the Cougars will come out and play every point like it’s their last!

Be here on Tuesday, November 10^th when the Warriors and Cougars set to do battle, game scheduled for a 7pm start time! Good Luck Lady Cougars!

Girls Soccer heads to State Tournament

After being forced to move up to play Division 2 in the MIAA Tournament, the Lady Cougars Soccer team now must step up its game, and show these teams that they can play with the best of them. The Cougars, who are seeded 10th in Division 2, will play the 7th seeded Green Dragons of Duxbury High School. The Cougars will show up and play this game the best they can. They will show Duxbury that their 12-4-2 record isn’t a fluke. They will go to Duxbury with the feeling of an upset happening. The Cougars are led by Captains Casey Brown and Courtney Camara, and it’s their job to make sure that the team is ready to play on Sunday.

Good Luck to the Lady Cougars. Beat Duxbury! 

The game is scheduled for Sunday, November 8th, with a start time scheduled for 1pm. Good Luck!

Check back in next week, when we find out if the Cougars won!

 

UPDATE:

The Bishop Connolly Girls Soccer team season came to a close on Sunday afternoon with a 7-0 loss to Duxbury High School. The Cougars, who were overmatched by the Green Dragons, held their own, playing them close but eventually losing in the end. This was the final game for Connolly seniors, Meaghan Cantwell, Alishya Anselmo, Caroline Quinn, Courtney Camara, Alyssa Oliveira, and Casey Brown. It was a tough loss for the Cougars who close the season with a 12-5 record. The team will need to re-group for next year with the loss of a lot of seniors. They will be back next year!

Congratulations on a great season, girls!
