With the way the Girls Hockey team played this season, there was little doubt among the fans who attended the FCIAC championship game against the Darien Blue Wave who would pull out the W. By the time the Rams took a 5-0 lead by the end of the first period, the Rams’ FCIAC chances were all but assured. The 7-1 massacre at the Darien Ice Rink, the Rams’ fifth FCIAC Championship victory in the past seven years, is illustrative of the Rams’ incredible season. They have been absolutely unstoppable with a 23-1 record.
But what I believe is the most impressive aspect of the Rams is how they play as a team. On top of that, they have an arsenal of playmakers. This season the Rams have put up outstanding stats. According to Maxpreps.com, the top two scorers in the state are sophomore Olivia Hompe and senior Jana Persky, respectively. The top three players in assists are Jana Persky, Olivia Hompe and sophomore Bea Eppler, respectively.
Behind the dynamic duo of sophomore Oliva Hompe and senior Jana Persky, along with goalie Britt Gardella and forward Bea Eppler, the Rams are poised to win the State Championship this Saturday against the Ridgefield Tigers, a team they’ve already beaten three times this season.
