Fisher saves season for Wave


By Jay Alter - The Darien Boys Soccer team extended their season Monday (11/14) with a fantastic win over rivals New Canaan, beating the Rams 1-0. The goal was scored off a penalty kick by Brennan Branca in the first half and the defense took it from there. Seniors, Elliott Helgans, Geoff Hubbard, and Matt Collier played brilliant defense in the second half and kept New Canaan from scoring. Junior Jack Fisher had his best game of the season (in my opinion) as he kept a clean sheet and had 2 or 3 breathtaking saves. "We keep winning because we don't want the season to end," said Hubbard after the game. The team received a "storming of the field", the second of the season. The other came in a 3-2 OT win against Westhill in the FCIAC quarterfinal. Now, the Wave advances to play Bunnell on Wednesday at a time TBD.
