-By: Emily Close-The girls' hockey team suffered a 5-1 loss against its toughest competition to date from Simsbury on Tuesday. (1/11) The girls had the hometown advantage but were not able to come away with a win. The night started with a quick goal from the Simsbury Trojans just three minutes into the game. This goal was followed by another shot fired three minutes later at the nine- minute mark. The girls responded in the second period when freshman Sage Thacher scored a goal just four minutes 39 seconds into the period. Simsbury fired back with 2 goals in the second, one at the beginning of the period and one with a minute to go. In the third, the Trojans scored a final goal four minutes into the period. The Wave played outstanding defense in the third to hold off Simsbury for the duration of the game. After the game, Darien Coach Al Gurney said, “We have yet to play against another team who is better then us so I thought that we played great.” The Wave will take on Ridgefield at 8:30pm at Ridgefield High School on Saturday. (1/15) The girls hope to land a second victory against Ridgefield whom they beat during an eight-minute overtime on Jan. 5.
