The undefeated Fitch High School softball team finished the season ranked No. 1 in Connecticut, following the final GameTimeCT/Register Top 10 poll Sunday.

The Falcons, who won the Class L title Friday over Masuk 2-0, finished 27-0. Unbeaten Class LL champ Cheshire (27-0) placed second, while Class M champion Seymour was third.

Fitch received 10 of 15 first-place votes from the panel of sports writers and coaches. Cheshire received five first-place votes.

"I'm happy for the girls and we've worked hard to be No. 1,” Fitch coach Arielle Cooper said. “But all in all it’s just a ranking. We can't stop working hard. But it's great for the seniors to go out helping their team be No. 1.”
