JOHNSTON — Monday afternoon turned out to be worth the wait for Izzy Sousa
St. Raphael hadn’t played a softball game in more than a week and returned to the diamond in grand style
Its pitcher fired a no-hitter and helped herself with a solo home run leading off the top of the fourth inning
That two-way starring role under chilly sunshine at Wood Lake Park lifted the Saints to a 3-0 victory over Johnston in Division II
Sousa was a hit batter short of perfection
striking out 16 against no walks in a superb individual performance

I told my coach it was going to be a pitching game.”
striking out 10 of the first 11 batters faced before hitting Bella Boudreau on the foot with two outs in the bottom of the fourth
That was the only baserunner of the day for the Panthers
She retired the last 10 straight to close out a gem
with a fly down the line in right to Ava Guatieri for the final out
Raphael was idle for 10 days after its April 10 meeting with Woonsocket and was playing just its third game of the season
Sousa threw a bullpen session at Saturday’s practice to sharpen up and felt good from the outset two days later
Boudreau’s bouncer to third in the bottom of the first was the only contact Johnston made through the first 12 hitters
“I didn’t know it was going to be that good of a day,” Sousa said
Haley Boudreau carried her own no-hitter and eight strikeouts into the top of the fourth before leaving a pitch out over the plate to Sousa
She crushed a drive to left that cleared the fence with room to spare
That came after Sousa drew a two-out walk in the top of the first and fell behind in the count 1-2 on her second trip
“I had to get my bat off my shoulder,” Sousa said
The Saints (3-0) added some insurance in the top of the sixth
Noelle Welch grounded a leadoff single through the left side and Sousa was intentionally walked with first base open to set the table for Emma Martin with two outs
She sent a two-run double to deep right center
chasing Welch home from second and bringing Sousa all the way around
“A lot of people like to take a pitch,” Martin said
The Panthers (4-1) had 2-3-4 in their batting order due and were out to stage a late rally
A strikeout and a towering pop to the pitcher put Sousa one out away
and the Cranston East transfer induced another ball in the air that held up long enough
“I felt a lot of nerves walking in,” Sousa said
“But when I was in the circle I would walk back every time
take a deep breath and then throw my pitch

Stage 5 of the 47th edition of the Giro d’Italia
Among the starters is the world’s premier racer against the clock and star rider for the St Raphaël team
Jacques Anquetil – ‘Monsieur Chrono’ himself
nearly three minutes behind race leader Enzo Moser
But no one is in any doubt as to who will be wearing the pink jersey tonight
‘With what advantage will the Frenchman win?’ writes Gigi Boccacini in the pages of La Stampa
on the entire route only – we are told – six or seven curves
Rival sports directors offer views on Anquetil’s likely winning margin: ‘One minute on [Ercole] Baldani
three on the others,’ says one; some say the winning margin will be a minute and a half; another says Anquetil can gain 30 seconds every 10km on everyone – so that’ll be two and a half minutes then
The only question is whether Anquetil would want pink this early in the race and have his team defend it for the next 17 stages into Milan
the answer to that question would be an emphatic yes
‘The blond Norman swept from his path with an enterprise that
is truly prodigious,’ the paper reported the next day
with such an advantage that in one leap he overtook everyone [on GC]
an hour’s run (and what a run!) was enough for him to muzzle everyone – at least for a few days.’
Anquetil had taken nearly a minute and a half off second-placed Baldani
Only two others got within a couple of minutes of him
presented to him by three-time Giro winner Gino Bartali
‘Those who followed him say that his march was a masterpiece of speed and regularity,’ wrote Vittorio Varale
‘“I have never seen a spectacle like it,” [Giuseppe] Pinella
who followed him from the beginning to the end
Anquetil never lost the jersey and would go on to win the Giro by 1min 22sec over Italo Zilioli
‘You see the result and it seems that it was a close race between us
but if I’m honest he was never really under pressure from me,’ Zilioli told author Herbie Sykes decades later in the book Maglia Rosa
‘I think he won while saving energy for the Tour.’
The previous year Anquetil had won the Vuelta-Tour double for St Raphaël
Twelve months on and he had just secured phase one of a more prestigious double

The story of the St Raphaël cycling team can be traced to a medical laboratory in 1830s France when Doctor Ademar Juppet was working on an aperitif made from quinquina (the source of quinine) and wine
The story goes that Juppet’s sight was failing as he was working on his drink
Remembering the biblical tale of the archangel Raphaël restoring sight to a blind man
and when he was able to finish his recipe he named his new tonic St Raphaël
and in 1900 the St Raphaël company offered visitors to the Paris Universal Exhibition trips in a hot air balloon splashed in the brand’s colours
Fast-forward to 1954 and the drink manufacturer became one of the first brands to enter cycle team sponsorship that had no connection to the cycling industry
The team’s first win came in June 1954 when Louis Bergaud won the Tour de la Corrèze
surprisingly claimed the Tour de France (albeit while riding for the Nord-Est-Central regional team
trade teams not featuring in the Tour at the time)
The team’s most notable rider during this time was Raphaël Géminiani
who was instrumental in bringing the brand into cycling
Géminiani would become the first St Raphaël rider to win a Tour stage (1955)
but his biggest impact at the team came after he became a sports director in the early 1960s
signed Anquetil in 1962 and set about forming a formidable partnership with his new charge
This was the period when the team enjoyed its greatest success
Rudi Altig won the Vuelta (1962) and the Tour of Flanders (1964); Jo de Roo won Bordeaux-Paris (1962) and claimed back-to-back Il Lombardia victories (1962/1963); and Jean Stablinski became World Champion (1962)
And all while Anquetil was reigning supreme as the team’s foremost rider
Anquetil entered the Tour aiming to become only the second man to win the Giro and Tour in the same year
He was also going for a record-extending fifth Tour title
Earlier in the year René de Latour had written an article for Sporting Cyclist asking if Anquetil would ride a ‘holiday Tour’ in 1964 after the Frenchman had complained of long stage distances
‘This would be like another holiday for me
Watching others flog away from a ringside seat
How I would enjoy such a show,’ Anquetil had said
even if he had only finished the Giro two weeks before
The early stages proved uneventful as Anquetil’s teammates controlled matters
losing 1min 49sec to 1959 Tour champion Federico Bahamontes
He recovered to take a couple of stages over the next few days but going into the final rest day in Andorra
Anquetil remained more than one minute behind race leader Georges Groussard
Anquetil cut a seemingly relaxed figure during that rest day
eating lamb and drinking with his sports director Géminiani
In truth though he would soon become unsettled by a nonsensical prediction published by an astrologer in France-Soir that he would suffer a fatal fall on the next stage
Anquetil’s rivals attacked early on the Col d’Envalira
Bahamontes and Raymond Poulidor disappeared quickly up the road
‘Then a terrible fog descends on the road and Anquetil is overwhelmed; the clairvoyant’s prediction is going to come true,’ writes Paul Fournel in Anquetil Alone
He is nervous and thinking about quitting when Géminiani drives up
‘He hands him a water bottle filled with champagne,’ Fournel continues
descends through the fog with abandon and catches all the riders who had left him for dead a few hours previously
Three days later Anquetil finally took yellow when he won the race’s penultimate time-trial into Bayonne
There would still be trouble – Stage 20’s climb to Puy de Dôme when he went shoulder to shoulder with Poulidor is one of the Tour’s most famous days – but St Raphaël’s leader would cling on
beating Poulidor in Paris by just 55 seconds before calling it ‘the hardest Tour I have ever known’
It was the fourth year in a row that Anquetil had paraded around the Parc des Princes as Tour winner (and the third as leader of St Raphaël)
Anquetil would never finish the Tour again and St Raphaël would leave cycling at the end of the season

“I used to say that before I retired, I’d like to be the pastor of St. Raphael Parish,” said Father Dan Schlegel
“And it’s come to fruition.”
After ministering in various other positions throughout the eight-county diocese, including as pastor of Holy Angels Parish in Bainbridge and as diocesan secretary and vicar for clergy and religious
Father Schlegel is back “home” at St
St. Raphael said goodbye last year to its longtime pastor, Father Tim Gareau, as he moved to a new position as pastor at St. Colette Parish in Brunswick
they welcomed the news of Father Schlegel’s appointment as their new pastor
but it is a gift of the Holy Spirit,” Bishop Edward Malesic noted during his remarks at the installation Mass
The church was filled with parishioners from St. Raphael, Holy Angels and others who came to support Father Schlegel as the bishop installed him in his new role on June 7, the solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
Many fellow priests concelebrated the liturgy
“The solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus seems like a perfect day for my installation,” Father Schlegel said

the all-boys Jesuit high school in Cleveland
Father Schlegel explained that the feast of the Sacred Heart was celebrated in Jesuit communities
He recalled being told that he “was the kindest person in the class,” which he said was instilled in him at St
my thanksgiving for all I’ve received from this parish,” he said
“Love has the power to transform our lives and our world.”
Raphael Parish “a family of faith” as he encouraged the faithful not to let the walls of the church become so solid that the word of God doesn’t get out
“We come to this place where God lives to get food for the journey and to take it outside
Take what you receive here and use it as a blessing out there,” he said
The bishop also thanked Father Schlegel and the other priests for saying “yes” to their vocation and ministry
“You’re good people,” he told St
“Work with him (Father Schlegel) and be as understanding of his mistakes as he is of yours in the confessional.”
The bishop recalled an old saying that a prophet is welcome everywhere but in his own house
you’re back where you started and they seem happy to have you,” Bishop Malesic said
He asked the parish community to work with Father Schlegel adding
“This parish is a blessing to me.”
the bishop greeted parishioners and all enjoyed an ice cream social with music
Table decorations were provided by various parish ministries
St. Raphael Parish was established in 1946 with 165 families. It has grown to about 3,700 families and nearly 11,000 members. More than 600 students attend the day school and approximately 400 participate in the Parish School of Religion. Learn more about the parish here

Editor's Note: This story has been updated to correct the name of the Exeter-West Greenwich player who assisted on the winning goal
Raphael maintained its chance at a perfect season and Exeter-West Greenwich worked extra time to seal its own place in the Division III girls soccer final
The Saints and Scarlet Knights each won thrillers on Tuesday night at Conley Stadium
Raphael came from behind in the second half to edge the Mariners
Exeter-West Greenwich used a goal from Hailey Jones in the 84th minute to slip past the Broncos
Karina Contreras finally put the Saints ahead to stay

Jones struck for the Scarlet Knights after they conceded a late equalizer in regulation
Ava LaFauci capitalized on a defensive mistake to pull Burrillville level at 2-2 in the 75th minute
and a pair of five-minute periods awaited before the possibility of penalty kicks
Jones avoided stretching the drama to the limit
firing home a kick with her left foot after a long pass from Alexandra Renzi
especially watching from a striker’s point of view,” Jones said
The Mariners (10-6-2) used an early goal from Anabella Radom and a superb performance from keeper Grace Blessing to take a 1-0 edge into the break
Gabriela Cuellar and Alexa Soler-Fernandez gave the Saints (20-0-0) a 2-1 lead in the opening 10 minutes of the second half
but Delaney Bonneau’s free kick brought Narragansett back level at 2-2
Contreras popped up with a goal just in time
squeezing into some space on the left side and blasting a short pass from Cosme into the top corner
The Broncos (12-4-4) sandwiched their two goals around a pair from Exeter-West Greenwich (13-4-3)
Janessa McKay headed home a corner kick in the third minute and LaFauci’s late heroics added some tension to the second semifinal
The Scarlet Knights scored twice just six minutes apart in the first half to build a lead
with Ariana DiBernardo deflecting home a free kick and Riley Moulton hitting the far corner with a curling shot from the right wing
“We kind of just tried to build our confidence up,” Jones said of the late turnaround
The two finalists were both under .500 in 2023
and they’ve completed a long trip to the season’s last day at Alumni Field
The Saints were the Division III runner-up in the 2021 final and Exeter-West Greenwich captured the last of its three straight Division II crowns in 2012
Raphael pulled out the lone meeting this season
“It’s very hard to get everyone fired up,” Contreras said
“I think we have a chance at beating them,” Jones said
“We just have to play our best and believe in ourselves.”
EXETER-WEST GREENWICH (3): Ariana DiBernardo
Raphael girls soccer team did plenty of scoring this fall
popping home 123 goals in 21 games — regular season and postseason — heading into Saturday’s Division III championship game
the Saints found themselves in a scoreless game with Exeter-West Greenwich but they weren’t worried
After 50 minutes of being stoned by the Scarlet Knights’ keeper
Kamarie Cosme gathered a rebound in the box
blasted it home for the first goal and everything changed
The Saints scored three more before the game was over — with Cosme’s sister
scoring two — in a 4-0 victory over Exeter-West Greenwich that gave them the Division III title
Raphael senior captain Karina Contreras said
Championships aren’t built overnight and this title certainly wasn’t either
but the last two seasons didn’t go quite as well
as the team finished with losing seasons and missing the playoffs
Things changed this fall and it was noticeable from Day 1
when the Saints starting stacking wins and piling on goals
The offense was different and it wasn’t hard to see why
it was just the connection,” Kamarie Cosme said
we were very down on ourselves,” Contreras said
with the girls we picked up … we knew this was going to be our year.”
Raphael found itself behind early against Narragansett before the offense came alive in the second half to tie the game and Karina Contreras hit the go-ahead goal late in the 4-3 win
The Saints were hoping to avoid a similar slow start against Exeter-West Greenwich
The midfield play was nothing short of spectacular
getting possession after possession the offense turned into chance after chance
But every would-be goal ended without a score because of the play of Cranston and the Exeter-West Greenwich defense
Cranston’s best save occurred at the end of the first half
when Contreras smoked a ball from 25 yards out that seemed headed for the upper 90 before Cranston managed to one-hand a save and poke the ball over the crossbar
“We were definitely really locked in,” Cranston said
“We knew what was coming because they had a really strong offense and that’s what they were going to do
“We just liked to stay composed,” Kamarie Cosme said
“It was very frustrating all the shots that we took but didn’t make.”
Kamarie Cosme had a couple of good looks early
Her shots missed in every way possible — wide
saved by Cranston — but staring at a ball in the box after Cranston came up with another save
blasting home the shot for the 1-0 lead with 28:53 left in the game
I’m just looking open net,” Kamarie Cosme said
“I’m so glad that she did because it picked everyone up
“It got everyone hyped up and we knew we had it after that.”
It took less than five minutes to get a second
as Valentina Ramirez knocked one in for the 2-0 lead
but the Saints extended it with 19:03 left when the Cosme sisters connected on a goal
Kiara Cosme added another one with 11:54 left and it was easy to see how things were ending
“We had them in their half the entire time,” Contreras said
There was no comeback in the cards for Exeter-West Greenwich
which had a huge turnaround this fall after winning only one game last season
“Last year was just a really bad year for us
we had more wins than we had the last two years … and I couldn’t have asked for a better year or a better team to play with.”
PROVIDENCE — Dealing with a lower body injury hasn’t stopped Terrence Campbell from putting his name on the short list of Rhode Island’s best high school football players
there’s little doubt about where he ranks — and showed as much Friday
“We just wanted to be upset and have that mindset ready to go and kill anything,” La Salle junior defensive back and return specialist Donald Young said
focused and didn’t do too much talking — we were ready to perform.”
More: What happened in the RIIL football semifinals? What didn't. Check out scores and recaps right now.
Campbell was the best two-way player in the state last season but an injury has kept him on one side of the ball this season. La Salle kept the senior, who recently made a verbal commitment to play at the University of Rhode Island
choosing the Rams over Toledo — on a pitch count in the run game and didn’t use him at linebacker
the Rams unleashed him and it didn’t take long for Campbell to make an impact
He scored two touchdowns before the first quarter was over
Campbell followed a Jaden Givens 22-yard reverse with a run from the 5 yards out that fell just short of the goal line
With no defense in the state able to stop the momentum of a 6-foot-1-inch
225-pound running back from moving the ball 3 feet
Campbell plunged in to give La Salle the start it needed
“I want to go out in my last year with a bang.”
catching a swing pass from Sam Perry and turning it into a 59-yard touchdown
While his size and strength is evident on short runs
it’s almost unsettling to watch a human being his size run past smaller
allegedly faster defensive backs who just couldn’t keep up
La Salle continued to lean on Campbell in the run game
but he was more effective in the passing attack
Campbell lined up wide and Perry whipped it in his direction
Then it became a matter of who wanted to try to bring Campbell down
La Salle went 57 yards on 10 plays to get the go-ahead score
including the last five for his third touchdown that made it 29-22
The Rams went 55 yards on 55 yards on seven plays in their second drive of the second half
with Campbell turning a short catch into a 25-yard gain
He accounted for all but nine of the yards and his final touchdown of the night made it 36-22 with 5:33 left in the third quarter
playing sparingly on defense the rest of the night
Campbell rushed for only 44 yards on 13 carries but had three rushing touchdowns and three first-down runs on short yardage
and his yards after catch total was otherworldly
“[Campbell has] all of our trust,” Young said
“We put everything into Terrence Campbell.”
The Rams have playmakers all over the field and they made plays that changed the face of the game
found space and turned it into a 50-yard touchdown
Young came up with the play that iced the win
A Second Team All-State selection as a returner last fall
fighting up the sideline and busting loose for a 55-yard touchdown that made it 43-22 with 4:04 left in the third quarter
I just went out there and tried to do what I can do,” Young said
catch the ball,’ because that’s the most important part
when a botched handoff exchange between quarterback Tashaad Brown and running back Damien Ocampo led to La Salle’s first score
had answers for every shot the Rams gave them
Brown and Ocampo hooked up on a 50-yard play that set up Ocampo’s first touchdown
Ocampo made a big play of his own and took the ensuing kickoff back 88 yards to tie the game
Raphael got a big pass play from Brown to Armand Northup-Reed that set up a 13-yard touchdown pass by Brown to Kimani Buchanan
But La Salle’s defense settled in after that
a pass by Brown to Northup-Reed brought them to the La Salle 41
A holding penalty pushed the Saints back to their side of the field and they didn’t cross midfield again

CRANSTON — It’s hard to put a lot into a Week 3 game
With impressive starts to the season for both teams
the game would serve as an indicator as to which team had a realistic chance to earn a spot in the Interscholastic League State Championship playoffs and which team could fall by the wayside and play for the Consolation Bowl — or
With the Falcons’ defensive focus on preventing an aerial attack
scored four touchdowns and with the defense playing disciplined football against Cranston West gunslinger Kelan Cornell
Raphael victory and a team that got on the bus ride back to Pawtucket feeling the same as they did when they arrived
“We’re just going to keep moving forward,” Ocampo said
we’re back to the drawing board — watch film
get back in the weight room and keep working hard.”
the school’s culinary department had a food truck that had the stadium smelling incredible for four quarters
the band put on a show and the energy was through the roof
The game only matched it — and here’s what stood out:
Raphael offense showing its faceGoing into the season
it seemed as if the passing game was going to take the Saints places
With a returning quarterback in Tashaad Brown
elite outside receivers in Armand Reed and transfer Kimani Buchanan
a versatile back in Ocampo and a few other complementary pieces
air strikes seemed to be what teams fear most
Raphael has quietly become the best running team in Rhode Island whose name doesn’t rhyme with Shmendricken
The secret to the Saints’ success isn’t difficult to see
they simply took what the Cranston West defense was giving them
The Falcons were concerned about defending the pass and used an extra defensive back to prevent big plays
Intermediate passes set up the first two scoring drives
but Ocampo finished them — and then put the finishing touches on the game
There are faster backs in the state and there are certainly better bruisers
but there aren’t many who run as smartly as the senior does
His 66-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter happened because of his patience
After Cranston West came back and made it a one-score game
And instead of celebrating a four-touchdown game for the television cameras
he simply flipped the ball to an official and got off the field
“Dame’s been our whole offense these first three weeks,” Buchanan said
Raphael made a statement in its Week 2 win over Central and did little to change minds with its performance against Cranston West
Two penalties and a stuffed run set them back and Buchanan ended the scoring threat with a pick in the end zone
Cranston West didn’t have much to work with and the Saints’ defense gave it even less
the Falcons put the game in Cornell’s hands
After Ocampo and the offense opened the half with a seven-play
Buchanan got them the ball right back with his second interception of the game
extending plays out of the pocket and forcing the Saints to defend longer than most quarterbacks would
a 22-yard screen to Mehkhai Taylor that made it 21-13
The Saints went on a touchdown drive to make it a two-score game but Cranston West kept fighting
he threw a pass down the left sideline that Buchanan managed to make a play on
“It was very hard [to defend] the scramble drill,” Buchanan said
It was really hard just running around the field
Raphael has a quarterback issue that many teams would love to have — it has two very good ones

entered the game and gave the Saints a spark
Martinez completed back-to-back passes for 30 yards to start the drive
scrambled for more yardage and hit Buchanan to bring the ball to the Cranston West 11 before Ocampo finished things off
Any questions about who would start the second half were quickly answered when Brown was under center and took the Saints down the field on a touchdown drive
completing a pass and rushing for 18 yards
Raphael coach Mike Sassi said it was a good problem to have
Brown is the starter but he wants Martinez to have in-game experience for his own development and in case something were to happen to his sophomore
Sassi said what makes the situation easier to deal with is the relationship Brown and Martinez
it’s allowing Sassi to use both without disrupting the chemistry on the team
Raphael players went rogue and celebrated near midfield

There’s nobody better than Cornell getting out of the pocket and making freelance plays and it kept West in the game
I just have to come back better and be better in practice
“I did not play my game so I’ll take full responsibility and I’ll come out and play better
We didn’t score enough points and I didn’t play my game.”
The next stepCranston West will have to be on its game for the rest of the season
The Falcons have a tough schedule the rest of the way
starting with a road game at Cumberland on Friday
with road games at Barrington and Central next and closing with La Salle at home
“It’s going to be a different Cranston West team next time you see us on the field.”
The Saints close the first half of the season Saturday at undefeated Burrillville

hit the road at La Salle and then close with Cumberland
All that matters is the Broncos and the Saints are more than ready for what to expect from the road game
“Burrillville’s a really tough team,” Ocampo said
“We know it’s really hard to play on that field

Since I Love the Burg launched in May of 2009
the Archdiocese of Milwaukee will build two new elementary school buildings in the city
leaders of the Archdiocese and Seton Catholic Schools announced Tuesday
Saint Raphael the Archangel School and Prince of Peace School
are tentatively scheduled to move into new buildings in the first half of 2026
Both schools operate now in old buildings at two locations for each school
Archbishop Jerome Listecki told a gathering outside of one of the Saint Raphael schools near South 31st Street and West Lincoln Avenue that the new buildings are a sign of the Catholic church’s commitment to Milwaukee
“These schools are anchors for the neighborhoods,” he said
the announcement was “a major milestone for Catholic education not only in Milwaukee
but regionally and even nationally.“ He said
“This sends a strong message about Seton’s deep commitment to urban
said the buildings are expected to cost $23 million
Seton has undertaken a $40 million campaign to support the schools it operates in the Milwaukee area and has raised more than half of that
Raphael and Prince of Peace received four-star
“exceeds expectations” ratings from the Wisconsin school report card program a year ago
Both serve student bodies that are predominantly Hispanic
Couch said the two schools have enrollment totaling about 700
almost all the students in both schools were part of Wisconsin’s school voucher program
which provides public money to support their education
Each of the new buildings will have a capacity of 500 kindergarten through eighth-grade students
He said he expects Seton to work with developers on what to do with the four existing buildings used by the two schools
and he hopes they will be used for meeting community needs
perhaps including housing and child care centers
Seton was started in 2015 to provide education and administrative services to Catholic elementary schools that are part of parishes in the archdiocese
including two on the north side that moved this fall from being operated by Messmer schools to Seton

PAWTUCKET — The former Division I struggler surged away from the former Division III power on Tuesday afternoon
The relegated used a four-goal burst in the second half to take down the promoted
That was the underlying dynamic at play between Mt
and the Huskies eventually took charge at McKinnon-Alves Complex
Aidan Pereira and Maddox Canario sandwiched goals around a pair from Tommy Levis
Hope turned what was a scoreless draw at the break into a 4-2 victory
keeping pace with East Greenwich atop its new home in Division II

Pereira’s long drive off the left wing in the opening minute out of the break put the Huskies in front to stay
They’ve won six straight and are unbeaten in 10 league games after not tasting a victory since the close of the 2021 campaign
Adrian Diaz and Reginald Browne cut the deficit in half late for the Saints
who have hit a rough patch after settling in quickly at a higher level
“We come in thinking it’s a new team and we don’t know what they’re like
Raphael could have led early if not for a couple of timely stops by Mt
The Huskies made the most of that good fortune immediately out of halftime
Pereira’s shot cut through the wind and found the top of the net
sparking what turned out to be an explosion
“We knew we could have done better,” Levis said
“The first half wasn’t really what we expected
We wanted to come out here and have some heat.”
Levis squeezed one home four minutes later on a shot from the center of the penalty area but his second was more of a highlight
Aidan Hudak served a perfect corner off the right side and Levis met it with a leap in front
His glancing header tucked inside the far post
“All I had to do was put the ball in the back of the net.”
Canario’s tally off the right wing in the 65th minute was the end for the Huskies (7-0-3)
who had done more than enough to seal the result
This extended strong form comes after a combined 0-25-3 mark through the last two seasons at the top level
couldn’t handle the step up after an 11-1-3 finish in 2021 and has regained its mojo through a month here
“Last year we went 0-14 — it wasn’t a good feeling,” Levis said
“We put that in the past and I feel like we started training really
We used that as momentum and we just sparked it.”
The Saints (6-3-1) played in five of the last seven finals in Division III
That success hinted at the obvious — the program likely could have responded well to a stiffer challenge long before this season
Tavares turned aside blistering shots from Davian Cabral and Browne in the opening half
two saves that held the fort until Diaz and Browne broke through in the last 10 minutes
“It’s really the same mindset,” Pereira said
They could have the same record and be terrible
You’ve got to come in with that mindset that you need to win this game and move on.”
A lawsuit accuses Yale New Haven Hospital and Yale University of medical negligence for leaving five individuals in the intensive care unit to suffer without pain management
31 by five plaintiffs who alleged YNHH’s Saint Raphael Campus failed to properly safeguard controlled substances
The lawsuit alleges that a registered nurse
diluting the hospital stock with salt water
causing patients to experience pain throughout their procedures
One plaintiff in the lawsuit was a patient in the intensive care unit — ICU — and the remaining were family members of those who had died without pain management.
“While my dad was suffering from kidney failure
Raphael campus,” said Cassaundra Scott-Jackson
“I felt hopeless and upset that there was nothing I could do to ease my father’s pain
I hope no other family has to live through knowing their loved ones suffered in this horrific way.”
reported that some controlled substances appeared to have been tampered with
reporting that the caps of various bottles were more difficult to open than normal and the contents inside had different consistencies and colors than usual
an internal investigation found that nearly the entire controlled substance supply at Yale-SRC had been tampered with
Yale-SRC conducted a Zoom meeting to discuss the suspects
a nurse who was not scheduled to work that day
removed two controlled substances from the newly replenished stock of medication
Yale-SRC discovered syringes and vials of the pain and anti-anxiety drugs in Falzarano’s backpack
along with equipment that reseals opened vials
This past December, Falzarano pleaded guilty to tampering with and stealing Lorazepam vials
The judge scheduled sentencing for March 2025 and his nursing licence is suspended
Analysis by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revealed that of the four vials of hydromorphone they checked at YNHH, all four contained between 1.35 and 5.5 percent of the medication they were supposed to contain
All vials were heavily diluted with salt water
meaning that the medication the patients were receiving was at an alarmingly lower dose than expected
“Our clients were seriously ill and required the most intensive pain management and anxiety relief out of all patients in the hospital,” Kelly Fitzpatrick
the Connecticut-based law firm representing the plaintiffs
“They endured unimaginable suffering due to the lack of pain medication at the most critical time
We look forward to getting patients and their loved ones the justice they deserve.”
Yale-SRC failed to protect its patients from this drug tampering and did not properly treat their pain
YNHH wrote that the safety of their patients is their “top priority.”
“We are truly sorry if any patients suffered as a result of this nurse’s actions,” a YNHH spokesperson wrote
“We have extensive measures in place to detect and stop any diversion or tampering of medications and continue to improve on these as new technology is developed.”
Falzarano was able to access controlled substances
as Yale-SRC did not require pharmacists to check whether the appropriate amount of controlled substances had been returned after use
Yale-SRC had also granted Falzarano access to the controlled substance storage on days he was not scheduled to work
Yale-SRC holds Falzarano solely responsible for the incident
Drug diversion is a recurring issue in Yale health facilities. In 2020, Donna Monticone, another Yale nurse, pleaded guilty after she was found to have diverted 75 percent of all fentanyl supplies that were stored in an unsecured room at Yale’s fertility clinic. Then, the University paid a total of $308,250 in a civil settlement agreement
This case is under the jurisdiction of Bridgeport
