Wave Soccer Wins First Game of the CIAC Tourney

By Anthony Dimeglio

Before the last bell even rang on Monday afternoon, Darien Soccer had started their first round CIAC game against Stamford High.  Not even thirty seconds into the game, Darien found themselves up 1-0 over Stamford on a nice corner kick to Junior Andrew Mathew who put the ball in the net.

Near the end of the half, Stamford was able to capitalize on a breakaway making the game 1-1.but near the 75th minute, Senior Johann Nottebohm had a shot on goal, which bounced out to Senior Kai Bjornstad who found the bottom left corner, giving Darien a 2-1 lead.

“It’s a lot of fun to play with a team that has this much chemistry.  We know that if one of us doesn’t play well, or we mess up, another player will have our back; and that’s simply what’s so special about this team,” senior captain Michael Maccarone said.  

Darien soccer has had a lot of success this season, after a rough start, and a tough loss to Norwalk in FCIAC’s; they look to bounce back and rally in the State tournament.
