Simsbury Sports Digest for Sept. 27, 2011

It was a true team effort for the Simsbury Field Hockey team as they beat Southington 6-2 on Monday. There were 5 different goal scorers including Jaime Matson, Kelly Knisel, Ari Arciero, Audrey Allen and  Sarah Chamberlain who had 2 goals. Allen also added 3 assists. Knisel chipped in with 2, and Matson and Allie Patrina had 1 assist each. Allison Renwick stood tall in net for the Trojans (3-1) with 11 saves. Simsbury will look for win number 4 on Friday as they battle E.O. Smith.

After gutting out a win against Newington in their opener, the Simsbury High football team succumbed to injuries once again in a 28-0 loss to Conard on Friday. Brendan Conway who filled in so admirably at quarterback for injured starter Steven Steijn in week one, followed Steijn onto the injured list with a broken collarbone.

While that drama was unfolding on the football field, just across the parking lot at the gymnasium, the volleyball team was rolling over another opponent. The Trojans are a perfect 5-0 after taking all 3 games against Hartford Public Friday.

On today's schedule ... Simsbury will take on Northwest Catholic in soccer. The boys are in West Hartford, while the girls are home. Both games start at 3:45 p.m.
