(October 1, 2026) — The Haddam-Killingworth High School Boys Soccer team improved their record to 8-2, defeating Lyme-Old Lyme for their fifth straight win. The Cougars started fast when Tristen Edwards took a great pass from Luca Piacenti and broke away, scoring the first goal in the 4th minute.
HKHS applied continuous pressure on the Lyme-Old Lyme defense and picked up a second goal 30 minutes later when Tristen returned the favor, sending in a corner kick that Luca put into the net. The halftime score was 2-0 in favor of the Cougars. The second half was more of the same as HKHS continued to pound the opponent’s goal. In the 69th minute, Tristen made a nice pass to Nolan Sheppard, who made the score 3-0. Another insurance goal was later put in by Strati Dhembi on a great pass from Nolan.
The team’s next game will be on October 5, 2026 at Nathan Hale-Ray.
