The Stanstead College Spartans are celebrating one of the best all-around soccer seasons in recent memory.

The senior boys enjoyed a perfect record in ETIAC League play, from the first kick-off through the end of the season and into last weekend’s playoff championship. This is the second year in a row that the senior boys have captured the championship trophy.

Not to be outdone, the senior girls won the ETIAC regular season banner through hard work and determination. What makes this feat special is that it is the first time since 1984 that the senior girls have been able to pull off such an achievement. While they couldn’t nail down the playoff trophy in the final game against Alexander Galt, the senior girls can hold their heads high for their stellar season.

A year ago, the junior boys won the regular season title but missed out in the championship final. This year, the juniors ended up in a three-way tie for the league based on their win-loss record but lost out on the banner through points. They did, however, win the championship in the playoff final. As far as we know, this is the first time the junior boys have earned the trophy in ETIAC history.

And speaking of histories, the bantam girls made it all the way to the playoff championship final against Alexander Galt. This, as far as we know, has never happened before. While the girls lost 1-0 in overtime, they should be proud of their success and perseverance.

Congratulations to all our soccer players and all our student-athletes for giving us a tremendous fall sports season.
