Boys Lax Ends Regular Season Unbeaten at 16-0

by Anthony DiMeglio

It seems like just a week ago when senior Peter Lindley put in a goal during the Boys Lacrosse home opener against Trinity Catholic.  Following that 22-0 victory over Trinity, for the Darien Lacrosse team, the sky was the limit. The team went on to win their next 15, concluding their season with a record of 16-0 and clinching a state and FCIAC playoff berth. 

Darien came into the season as heavy favorites, after their strong outings in the preseason.  With almost a complete starting lineup from the previous season, the Wave was ready to roll. Entering the season not ranked at all, the lax team now represents our school as the number 4 team in the nation.

Only three teams in Darien Lacrosse team history have finished their season undefeated, and this year’s 2014 team happens to be one of them.  “Were going to use this achievement as momentum for the postseason; we know there are tough teams out there in the state and FCIAC but we have confidence in our lineup to do big things in the playoffs,” said junior Jack Feeley.

Good luck to the lax team in the FCIAC and CIAC playoff tournaments, and to the seniors headed off the play lacrosse in college (listed below)!
