Girls Ice Hockey Crushes Stamford-Westhill-Staples

By Kallie Coughlin 

This past Tuesday at 8:30, The Darien High School’s Girls Varsity Hockey, team took on and beat the “three school team” Stamford-Westhill-Staples, 7-0. Having beat this team only 1-0 in early January, this week's win was exciting. Goals came from across the board: Georgia Cassidy had two goals, while Schuyler Van den Broek, Emily Ferguson, Kiki Tropsa, Elise Maro, and Cassidy Schiff all had one goal. Junior goalie, Emily Gianunzio, saw little action in the defensive end having three strong saves.

The rest of the season brings big competition, with Simsbury, East Catholic, and Hamden all in the near future, as well as FCIACS and States. Georgia Cassidy believes, “the team is strong enough to beat them all and hopefully come out with medals!” Come watch the team’s next big home game against Simsbury on February 5th at the Darien Ice Rink.

Georgia Cassidy #2, Emily Ferguson #21, Cassidy Schiff #20, Marissa Baker #6, and Kathleen Tropsa #23, celebrate after a win vs New Canaan earlier this season.
