Stanstead College hosted the 20-team CAIS Senior Boys Soccer Tournament on campus October 16-18 and our Spartans finished in 5th place in the silver division. The three-division gold-silver-bronze tournament format, introduced in 2024, was designed to create divisions of like-with-like talent. So, for the third year in a row, Stanstead faced three quality teams in Division 2 and matched up equally with those teams they faced in the playoff rounds, too.
The Stanstead College Senior Boys Soccer Spartans wrapped up the first half of their season with a decisive 5-0 home win over the Richmond High School Knights, last Tuesday, October 7. For the first time all season, the weather was rainy, cold and windy, which made for interesting and challenging playing conditions for both teams.
This Thursday through Saturday, Stanstead College will host the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS) Senior Boys Soccer Tournament, the second year in a row the school has hosted a national tournament.
The Stanstead College Senior Boys Soccer Spartans ended the month of September and entered October on a winning note, and with a pair of road victories they pushed their season record to 3 wins and 2 losses. Entering the week of September 28, the Spartans’ coaching staff pointed to two away fixtures, first at Galt on Monday and then at Richmond on Wednesday, as pivotal if the Spartans were to push forward and seriously challenge for league honours. Without saying so to the players, two victories were a must.
One day after hosting and soundly defeating the Galt Pipers, the Stanstead College Senior Boys Soccer Spartans hosted their old rivals, Bishop’s College School Bears, in what turned out to be a fast-paced, competitive match. Unlike the day before, the scoreline was much closer, and this time, it was in the visitor’s favour, to the tune of 3-2.
Last Tuesday, September 16, the Stanstead College Senior Boys Soccer Spartans travelled to Cowansville to face the MVR Vikings in game 1 of the 2025 ETIAC soccer season. If the rest of the season is as free flowing and high scoring as game one was, with eight goals scored, fans and spectators of ETIAC senior boys soccer are in for a treat. Unfortunately, for the Spartans they came out on the wrong end of a 5-3 defeat.
