Some interesting facts and tidbits about the upcoming finals:
- The finals will have Lions (Foran), Tigers (Ridgefield, Daniel Hand) and Grizzlies (Guilford), oh my! There will be three schools of Falcons (St. Paul, Fairfield Ludlowe, Joel Barlow), and two schools each of Trojans (Lyman Hall, Simsbury), Rams (Cheshire, New Canaan), Spartans (Somers, Maloney) and Crusaders (Holy Cross, Lauralton Hall).
- Masuk softball, which plays the final semifinal contest Thursday against St. Joseph, seeks its seventh straight state championship. Woodland Regional softball is on track for its fourth state crown in a row, while New Fairfield lacrosse (both boys and girls), Daniel Hand boys lacrosse, New Canaan girls lacrosse and Lauralton Hall girls lacrosse hope to duplicate last year’s title success.
- Eight schools will be represented in multiple finals, with St. Joseph having a shot at appearing in three pending Thursday’s softball outcome. Those rooting for dual celebrations are Guilford (baseball, boys lacrosse), St. Joseph (baseball, boys lacrosse), St. Paul (baseball, softball), Cheshire (softball, girls lacrosse), Darien (boys and girls lacrosse), Daniel Hand (boys and girls lacrosse), New Fairfield (boys and girls lacrosse) and New Canaan (girls lacrosse, boys volleyball).
- Three programs still in contention have already claimed more than 10 state titles: Darien boys lacrosse (14), Darien girls lacrosse (12) and Masuk softball (10).
- Of all finals teams with previous state titles under their belts, South Windsor baseball has endured the longest drought, last winning a state crown in 1993.
- Glastonbury baseball, Suffield baseball, Ridgefield softball, Sacred Heart Academy girls lacrosse and Conard boys volleyball are making their first trips to a championship game. Programs which have competed in championship games in the past, yet are still seeking their first title, are North Branford softball, St. Paul softball, Fairfield Ludlowe boys lacrosse, Simsbury girls lacrosse, Cheshire girls lacrosse, Daniel Hand girls lacrosse and New Canaan boys volleyball.
- Just six matchups will feature the top two seeds squaring off: Woodland-Foran softball, North Branford-St. Paul softball, Fairfield Ludlowe-St. Joseph boys lacrosse, New Fairfield-Somers boys lacrosse, Darien-New Canaan girls lacrosse and Simsbury-Cheshire girls lacrosse. A victory Thursday would place top-seeded Masuk softball against No. 2 Waterford.
Here is complete information about each title contest, including championship game histories and links to team rosters and season records. Games are on Saturday, June 14 unless otherwise indicated.

St Lucia’s Phillip, Gaspard beam with pride after striking gold at ECVA U-21 Beach Volleyball Champs
Clio Phillip and teammate Ericka Gaspard wore wide smiles as the St Lucian pair celebrated a golden finish at the just concluded Eastern Caribbean Volleyball Association (ECVA) Under-21 Beach Volleyball Championships, bringing home top honours in the women’s division after a flawless run on home sand.
“We feel great, we are excited, and we are happy. This is what we came to do…win the gold!” Phillip declared after the final in St Kitts and Nevis.
And win they did, with authority.
Phillip and Gaspard were in a class of their own throughout the tournament, storming through all five of their matches without dropping a single set. The highlight came in the final, where they outclassed Antigua & Barbuda’s Jassania Joseph and Jaya Carr 21-11, 23-21 to seal the title.
Though they were momentarily tested in the second set, which they trailed 19-20 in what could have forced a decider. But the St Lucian pair dug deep, their confidence holding firm under pressure.
“We really had to work hard in the last set, but our confidence allowed us to push through the last points,” Gaspard noted.
Antigua & Barbuda’s Jassania Joseph and Jaya Carr accept their silver medal.
In the bronze medal match, Dominica’s Alyssa Bully and Joyan Pascal fought through a tense three-set battle to edge Anguilla’s Deandra Fleming and Lavesha Richardson 21-14, 20-22, 15-7, to round out the women’s podium.
On the men’s side, Dominica’s Mervin Mingo and Bill Frederick reaffirmed their dominance with a second consecutive ECVA title, as they dispatched St Lucia’s Rio Victor and Peter Emmanuel in straight sets, 21-17, 21-15.
The bronze medal showdown also delivered drama, as Grenada’s Zerick and Hamilton held off a spirited challenge from St Kitts & Nevis’ Sundar and Pencheon to win 21-17, 12-21, 15-11 and secure third.
The top three teams in both divisions have now booked their spots to represent the Eastern Caribbean Volleyball Association at the NORCECA U-21 World Championships Qualifier.

How to Watch NCAA Outdoor Championships: Women’s Day 1
- Date: Thursday, June 12, 2025
- Time: 7:00 PM EDT
- Channel: ESPN
- Stream: Fubo (TRY FOR FREE)
On the schedule for the women are semifinals in the 4×100 Relay, 1500 Meters, 3000 Steeplechase, 110 Hurdles, 100 Meters, 200 Meters, 400 Meters, 800 Meters, 400 Hurdles, 200 Meters and 4×400 Relay, as well as finals in the 10,000 Meters, Hammer, Pole Vault, Javelin, Long Jump and Shot Put.
The 200-meter is an exciting event this season and will be incredibly competitive in Heat 3. The NCAA leader, South Carolina’s JaMeesia Ford, is in the event in lane six. The fastest freshman sprinter in the country, TCU’s Indya Mayberry, is in lane five. No. 2 Southern California and No. 3 Texas A&M have a runner in this heat as well.
Heat 2 of the women’s 800 meters will also be quite eventful. The event has BYU’s Meghan Hunter, North Florida’s Smilla Kolbe, Arkansas’ Sanu Jallow, and UNC’s Makayla Paige, to name a few. Those are the third, fourth, seventh, and 13th-best all-time performers in the women’s outdoor 800 meters. Only the top two from the heat will be guaranteed a spot in the final.
Last year, the 400-meter record fell at the NCAA Championships, as Nickisha Pryce became the first to ever break 49 seconds. In that same race was Arkansas’ Kaylyn Brown, finishing at 49.13 seconds, and she’s back this year.
