The Avengers, who just bumped back up to D-I this year, have a 10-1 record and are ranked #2 in D-1.
The EG Girls Tennis team continued its near-romp through Division I at home Tuesday, with a 7-0 win over Lincoln School. Their record in this is a remarkable 10-1, losing only to powerhouse La Salle. It's especially notable because they just moved up from Division II this season. "We've secured the number 2 seed in all of Division I," said coach Marc Brocato. "They've practiced very hard to get to where they are. Division I tennis is brutal in Rhode Island." The Avengers didn't make it look to hard Tuesday, with straight-set wins all down the line and only seven games lost in the whole match. It helps to have the number 1 ranked player in the state, junior Alesandra Drljaca. "She's undefeated," Brocato said. "She comes out to play hard …

Led by team co-captain Ben Fazio, the team scored 106, a whopping 30 points better than second-place finisher South Burlington (Vt.) High, at the Woods Trail Run Invitational Saturday.
The EGHS Boys Cross Country team won the Wood’s Trail Run in Thetford, Vt., on Saturday, in a team tour de force, with co-captain Ben Fazio placing sixth overall and the rest of the seven member team placing in the top third. Woods Trail could be the toughest cross-country course in the Northeast, said EGHS coach Peter Dion. But the EG Boys X-Country – the dream team – had won it in 2007 and after a practice run on the course Friday evening, team members decided they could finish in the top three. “We went into this race hoping to do pretty well as a team. First is very high goal to set but we definitely thought top three was attainable,” said junior Garrett Scanlon, who placed 18th overall. “We talked and realized we could place in the …
