Darien Soccer Falls in FCIAC Finals

     Darien soccer had a historic run in the FCIAC tournament being the first team in school history to make the finals. The Blue Wave took on Fairfield Ludlowe, who gave them their only loss on the season. The game was full of intensity right from the kickoff. It was evident early on that the game would come down to a battle of the defenses as there was no scoring in the first half. Ludlowe broke the ice with t a goal early in the second half. Darien answered late with a goal by junior Pablo Martinez, which tied the game with a little over 8 minutes left in the game. Unfortunately, Ludlowe was able to net a goal in the final few minutes of the game. This proved to be the game winner and handed Darien there second loss of the season. 
     It's not all bad news as Wave soccer has made school history and they have clinched a birth in the state playoffs.
