We are just starting to get into the high school girls soccer season and there are a couple of things that stand out.
One to note is that the Tourtellotte Tigers are off to a 2-0 start and while that may not be impressive to some, it's important to the Tigers.
Tourtellotte coach Deb Spinelli was concerned at the beginning of the season about her team's ability to make it to the state tournament and started listing those games she thought her team could win. Putnam and Killingly were amongst those that she felt were "must wins" and, so far, her Tigers have done just that. Ledyard was one of those teams Spinelli thought the Tigers might be able to compete with as well but the Colonels are off to a 2-1 start and could cause Tourtellotte some troubles today in North Grosvenordale.
Woodstock is also a team that wanted to get off to a good start to build a little confidence and the Centaurs have done just that. Their win over Wheeler on Thursday has them sitting pretty at 3-0 on the season. The only other team to have done that thus far is Lyman and the Bulldogs have a tough game tonight at home when they host East Lyme.
The Vikings tied one of the Medium Division favorites, Montville, earlier this week at three.
