Girls Varsity Soccer: New Season, New Captains


By Kiki Martin

The Darien Girls Soccer Team’s season ended on November 5th when they lost to Simsbury 2-0 in the first round of the state tournament. Despite this loss, overall the team had a successful season.  Although the season is over the team still had one more very important piece of business to take care of. The varsity team voted for next year’s captains and on November 17, 2013, at the team’s banquet, the new captains were announced. Next year’s captains will be juniors Daphne Budd and Erin Karczewski and senior Kendra Fitzpatrick.

“Half of our team is graduating and they will be missed. Each one of them was a big part of the soccer program. As for next season, we will have a very young team and many positions will be up for grabs because of the graduating seniors, but that won’t stop us from creating big things and making another huge print in the FCIAC,” junior Kendra Fitzpatrick said.

“It’sa bitter-sweet feeling because so many personalities and skill will be greatly missed next year. However, it leaves room for new players to step up as leaders and hopefully bring our team to success,” sophomore Erin Karczweski said.

On behalf of Neirad we wish the team the best of luck next season!
