JV Girls Lose to Wilton in "Alarming" Fashion

-Connor McCarthy-

After a long, relaxing three-day weekend, girls JV soccer team came hard to play Wilton this past Tuesday. (9/30) Wilton is one of the top teams in the state so it proved to a tough match. Darien held its own, keeping the ball out of their half. However, about 15 minutes into the game varsity coach Jon Bradley arrived to deliver some bad news. Five of the JV girls, including a few starters, were caught in an accidental fire alarm incident. The players were pulled off the field and taken back to the high school where they were subject to questions from the administration as well as the fire department. They were excused, as the episode was an accident, with promise to volunteer this weekend at the Big Rig event. The girls shortly returned to the game. The score remained 0-0 well into the second half and the teams battled it out until the end of the game. Wilton scored a goal in the last five minutes, and it was impossible for sophomore goalie Lauren Pryor to save it. Junior captain Lisa Randall (pictured) said "it was a tough fight to the finish, which is where games usually end." Good luck to the girls JV soccer team throughout the season.
