A Lax Season That Will Never Be Forgotten

By Anthony DiMeglio

21 down, 2 to go.  The Darien Blue Wave Lacrosse team, ranked No. 1 in the State, and No. 4 in the nation, is only 2 games away from winning the State title and sealing a perfect season. 

This season, there have been many memorable moments that will surely never be forgotten.  Coach Jeff Brameier received his 500th career win with the Darien Lacrosse program, and the team had two overtime victories against rivals New Canaan, one of which gave the Blue Wave an FCIAC championship. 

However, with all of this accomplished, the Blue Wave are not going to be satisfied with a 21-1 record, so the pressure is still on.  In order to fulfill their goal of a perfect season, the Wave will continue to improve to bring back the hardwood to Darien and the DHS trophy case.

Outscoring their opponents 40-7 in the first two rounds of the CIAC tournament, the Wave will continue to beat up on their challengers in order to complete something that has only been done once or twice in the history of the program: a perfect season.
