By Ellie Nelson

On October 15th, the Darien Field Hockey team beat rival Ridgefield at home, 4-1. Senior captain Kathleen Tropsa led the team with two goals; the other two were scored by senior captain Sydney Schrenker and junior Daphne Cutler. Notable performances came from juniors Katie Elders and Bridget Mahoney, both of whom had assists. Senior goalie Erica Blaze was also a strong contributor to the victory, only allowing one goal the entire game. Following the game, the team’s record improved to 2-2-4 in the FCIAC league.

Reigning FCIAC champions since 2012, the team is preparing both mentally and physically in hopes for another successful tournament this year. “We are really excited and hoping to finish the season of strong, but we know we have to just keep working hard in practice because you never know what could happen,” said sophomore Izzy Smith.

Come support the team this Thursday against Staples at 4pm!
