Girls’ Basketball Gains Victory over Ludlowe


-By: Melanie Tzenova-

The girls’ varsity basketball team came out victorious (52-36) against Fairfield Ludlowe at home on Friday night (1/14), coming back strong from a loss against Norwalk High School on Tuesday. Regaining sophomore Meg Marren after an injury, the Blue Wave was on point throughout the whole game, with senior captain Nicole Buch scoring two points at the last second, ending the 1st quarter 16-6. Junior Amy Biggart saw sufficient time as point guard, making great plays along with junior Leslie Yuen, putting points on the board for the Wave. Sophomore Kate Bushell played secure defense as post along with Meg Marren, allowing few shots to be made by their tough competition. The team worked hard and kept the tempo up. The second half was toughest for the team when the Ludlowe girls nearly caught up with them, but Darien played their game and ultimately defeated the other team. Go show your support for the girls’ team at their next away game at 7pm at Staples High School in Westport on Tuesday. (1/19)
