In a game that shaped up into another classic New Canaan vs. Darien battle, the girls’ lacrosse team came out on the short end of a tight game, falling 13-11 to the Darien Blue Wave. Despite taking the lead twice in the second half and a six goal performance from sophomore Olivia Hompe, the Rams could not hold on and a strong Darien took advantage, sealing the win with two goals in the final minutes of the game.

With just 15 minutes left to play in the FCIAC Championship game against St. Joseph last weekend, hopes of an undefeated season and a conference championship for the Rams started to fade as they entered the 3rd period trailing 3-1. Thanks to goals by juniors Dylan Hart and Jake Granito, the game was tied, with a few minutes left in the game, bringing the New Canaan crowd back to life. Two disallowed goals in the final 2:30 of the third period, one for each team, kept the game at a 3-3 tie, and the FCIAC Championship was to be decided in sudden death overtime.
