The girls' varsity basketball team faced tough competition at home against Norwalk High School on Tuesday. (1/11) Without the help of a lead scorer, sophomore Meg Marren, who is currently injured, Darien fell to Norwalk in overtime with a final score of 35-33. Overall, the team struggled in the first half, ending period 2 with only 6 points, while Norwalk had scored 12. However, by the end of the third period, Darien picked up the pace, leading Norwalk 23-20. Both teams struggled to surpass each other, ending regulation with a tied score of 28-28. In overtime, Norwalk eventually claimed the lead, beating Darien by one basket. Darien's basketball team was disappointed with the results of the game. "I don't think the team played up to our potential against Norwalk. We missed a lot of shots, we got into some foul trouble, and we didn't get enough rebounds," senior captain Nicole Buch said. (pictured) The team still hopes to make the FCIAC tournament and the state championship. "We are a young team and I hope we can bring it all together for the homestretch," Buch said. Come support the girls' basketball Fairfield Ludlowe at 7pm on Friday (1/14) in the DHS main gym.
