The Middle School soccer team concluded their season with an unbeaten record, their final victory coming over Dutchess Day School.

The 3rd soccer team had a terrific end to their season winning two of their last three games. The victories came over Gunnery and Salisbury. Jackson McAvoy ’21 provided leadership and good play in the midfield. Chris Devanny ’21 and Will Ackerman ’21 created a lot of offense and Lucas Hughes ’20 played well in the goal.

JV soccer concluded their season winning two and losing two in their final four contests. Victories over Millbrook and Salisbury moved the team closer to a .500 season.

The JV football team won their final contest of the season over Canterbury. The teams battled under the lights on a Monday afternoon and the Pride prevailed in overtime. Budd Desir ’20 had a touchdown on the final play of the game.

Varsity soccer had some exciting moments in the last weeks of the season. A draw against perennial power Hotchkiss was certainly a season highlight. Captain Marc Welch ’18 played an amazing game to keep the Pride close. One week later the team defeated an excellent Salisbury team and then earned a draw with Canterbury. Fahad Al Saud ’18 scored in three consecutive games. Captain Joe Webber ’18 was chosen All Star for both games.

The cross-country team competed in the Founder’s League meet and the New England Championships. Nick Grande ’19 was the Pride’s top finisher in both races.

The varsity football team concluded their regular season winning their final six contests. The highlight was an exciting come from behind win at Brunswick, where the Pride scored 19 points in the final five minutes. The running games of Chiz Umunawke ’18 and Ray Davis ’18 has been the catalyst in the winning streak. The second place finish in the Erickson League gave the Pride a spot in the Mike Atkins Bowl where Trinity-Pawling hosted Deerfield Academy. The Pride played a terrific defensive game, which led to a 23 – 7 victory. That win marked the seventh straight, giving Trinity-Pawling a record of 7 – 2.
