Girls Hockey:
Girls hockey played one of their biggest matchups on the season Saturday night when they battled Darien for the second and final time this season. After losing a hard fought matchup 1-0 on January 10, the girls came in ready to avenge their loss. The first quarter was back and forth with neither team able to sneak the puck past freshman Macyn Callahan nor Darien’s JJ Maher. That would change with 13:06 left in the second quarter, when Darien’s Izzy Haire got a shot by Macyn, breaking the scoreless tie. The game would stay 1-0 for the remainder of the game. This completes the season sweep of the Rams by Darien.
Overall Record: 16-2
