Boys Lax Cruises to First-Round Win



Matt Pik

On Wednesday (5/30), Darien Boys Lacrosse steamrolled New Fairfield in the opening round of the Class L state championships, winning 19-6. The game, held at Darien High School Stadium, featured the high-powered 1 seed – the Blue Wave – versus the far outmatched 16 seed – the Rebels. It was a coming-out party for sophomore Peter Lindley, who netted a career-high seven goals, leading the team. Senior captain Case Matheis also played great, scoring eight points on the way to the victory.
The next test for Darien will be against Masuk High School, a quarterfinal matchup that will be held at Darien this Saturday (6/2) at 3 p.m. Fans are encouraged to support the top-seeded Blue Wave as it attempts to send off the seniors properly with a state title.
