Wave Lax Defeats Long Island Powerhouse St. Anthony’s

by Colin Flynn

The St. Anthony’s Friars were no match for the undefeated Blue Wave on Thursday, May 15th, as Darien won 12-6.  Seniors Peter Lindley and Kyle Cornell, along with sophomore Colin Minicus, led the offense, as both Lindley and Minicus had a hat trick, and Cornell scored 2 goals and dished out an assist.  These goals wouldn’t have come if it wasn’t for the well-disciplined defense, as the Yale commit Phil Huffard came up big with 14 saves, many of them from point-blank range.  “Phil came up huge that game.  It would have been a completely different game if it wasn’t for Phil,” said junior midfielder Timmy Lochtefeld.  Darien is now 4-0 against out-of-state teams, and undefeated at 14-0.  Check out the Blue Wave this Friday, May 23rd, as they will face their first opponent, which has yet to be determined, in the FCIAC tournament.
