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.

These numbers are, quite simply, unfathomable.

On Wednesday, March 16, the boys hockey team suffered a heartbreaking loss to St. Joe’s in the state championship semifinals, ending their long-awaited run at perfection.
The last time the boy’s hockey team won the state championship was 1972. Since then, it’s been 38 years of frustration for the NCHS fans who have seen their team appear to be destined to win a state championship time and time again, only to fall short at the last minute.
