Newtown High School’s girls’ soccer team’s hopes of following up its conference championship with a state title ended in the Class LL State Tournament quarterfinals.

Top-seeded and host Glastonbury blanked the No. 8 Nighthawks 2-0 on November 9.

The Tomahawks scored in the opening minute and added a second-half tally.

Newtown goalkeeper Julianna Stavola was credited with 15 saves; she made several outstanding denials.

Strong defensive work was turned in by Hannah Daly, Laura Augenbraun, Emma Magazu, Colleen Phaneuf, Caitlyn Greenspan, and Sophia Romano.

Up top, Emma Curtis, Olivia Oltran, Sydney Howard, and Karsen Pirone all created chances. Phaneuf was also denied off one of six Emma Curtis corner kicks.
