Standout Saints Earn Fall Athletic Awards

Dec 6 2024

In a tremendous fall season punctuated by Varsity Volleyball’s second straight NEPSAC Class C title, there were plenty of accolades to go around at the Fall Athletic Awards Assembly in Maguire Auditorium.

A key member of that championship Volleyball team, Addison Lau ’25, was again named NEPSAC Class C Player of the Year for the second time in as many seasons! Also, Varsity Field Hockey earned a postseason bid, and the Cross Country teams had a strong showing at the NEPSTA Division III Cross Country Championships held at Canterbury. Plus, Girls’ Varsity Soccer received the Andy Pitonak Sportsmanship Award from the Western Connecticut Soccer Officials Association. As always, all of our athletes competed well and showed the utmost dedication and sportsmanship throughout the season.

“The Saints teams this fall displayed a never-give-up attitude,” said Interim Director of Athletics and Co-Curriculars Padraic McCarthy ’94. “This led to very successful seasons highlighted by our Field Hockey team’s playoff berth, Volleyball’s repeat as champions, and many important victories on Gunn Day that increased the Saints' lead in the Canterbury-FGS Cup competition.”
