rare reminder Starting Five: Athletes of the Week

Noah Terzo- Wethersfield (Baseball): Terzo allowed only one hit in six innings on the mound during the Eagles 8-2 win over Bristol Eastern last Tuesday, improving the team to 3-1. The junior is part of a deep rotation, which included seniors Matt Fletcher and Brendan Zaleski, who will both be pitching at Lasell University in Massachusetts next spring.  

Jaelyn Gonzalez- Newington (Softball): Gonzalez went 4-5 from the plate, slapping a triple and two doubles, and scoring three runs in Newington’s 16-8 victory over Farmington last Thursday. The sophomore followed it up with two more hits, a pair of RBIs, and a run in a 20-1 win over East Hartford on Friday.

Malena Signorello- Cromwell (Softball): Signorello connected on a walk-off hit, sending Monica Dewey home in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Panthers defeated Cognichaug 1-0 last Tuesday. The sophomore finished 2-3 from the plate, including the game-winning RBI, which captured Cromwell’s fourth straight win. 

Madeline Guerrera- Rocky Hill (Lacrosse): Guerrera has been a defensive leader for the Terriers, who have won the first three games of the season. The senior scored her first varsity goal in a 9-5 victory over Rockville last Tuesday and head coach Kim Hillman said Guerrera has been a rock the team can count on, adding, “She's a great communicator out there on the field and is always helping her defense to get organized.”

Grace Canepari- Newington (Lacrosse): Canepari scored the go-ahead goal with less than a minute to go in regulation as Newington edged Canton 8-7 last Monday. The senior’s game-winner was assisted by sophomore Hailey Gaydos.
