Girls Hockey Loses to Ridgefield


By Lizzy Steinborn

Only three minutes into the Girls Hockey game last night (1/12) Ridgefield scored a goal making the audience worry about how the game would continue. Offensive player senior Sara Shaker proved to Ridgefield the strength that Darien holds on the ice. Shaker was strong in her stick work and passed several of Ridgefield's defensive players with her speed work. Goalie sophomore Shannon Hall (pictured above) saved several attempts from Ridgefield offensive player Meg Galloway. However, after the second period Ridgefield had scored another goal making it 2-0. Shortly into the third period, Shaker showed her powers on the ice by scoring Darien’s first and only goal in the third period. It seemed as if the tables were turned after the second period break but Hall struggled to keep out a goal when a Ridgefield offensive player tapped it in. The game ended as 3-1 Ridgefield but was a well-played game from the Darien first strings.

To see the girls in action check out the next game on Wednesday (1/18) against Greenwich at the Darien Ice Rink.

Senior Eric Kanigan cheers on the Darien Girls Ice Hockey team.
