Darien Varsity Girls Hockey Drowns the Rams 8-3

By Anthony DiMeglio
So far this year, the wave has scored 23 goals in 3 games, outscoring their opponents 23-4.  Something that really stands out is the many weapons the girls team carries.  Against New Canaan seven different Darien players scored including, Seniors Sammy Nielsen, Julia Arrix, Christy Conley, and Juniors Georgia Cassidy (2), Marissa Baker, Cassidy Schiff, and Schuyler Van Den Broek.  The Wave seemed to catch a break when they continuously kept the New Canaan goalie off balance, leading to easy goals.  

Because of all the magnificent play by the Blue Wave many underclassmen have been given the opportunity to get some playing time against their opponents.  Many of them look up to, and try to follow the footsteps of the senior leaders.  Senior captain Sammy Nielsen added, “It’s always good to beat New Canaan, and the win was a great addition to the start of our season.  Now we just have to keep working hard for the upstate Connecticut competition.”

Good luck to the Girls Hockey team on the rest of their season!
