The Darien Boys Lacrosse team lost to Yorktown (11-5) this past Saturday (4/20) on Darien High School’s stadium turf. Unfortunately, this made the team’s record fifty-fifty as the team has now lost four games and won four games. The boys previously lost to New Canaan (9-4) as well as Manhasset (10-9) and Niskayuna (14-9).
Darien’s varsity lacrosse coach, Jeff Brameier, shared his feelings regarding the team’s performance. "Our program has been on such a run since 2005. We are expected year in and year out to compete and win these type of games," he told the Stamford Advocate. "It's been a long time to look at this point on the calendar and see four losses in our record. I'm not used to it. The kids aren't used to it. The town isn't used to it. With reputation comes pressure. We always get our opponent's best effort."
Brameier later alluded to positioning issues. "We made crucial mistakes. This year our lineup has questions. We have two sets of attackmen and two sets of midlines we're looking at. We're playing a freshman on defense. This group is still searching for its niche,” he said.
All in all, sports are a learning process. "Our staff needs to teach more. We need to make adjustments. We have to keep working. We will get the chance to right the ship," Brameier said.
Be sure to watch the boys play Staples at 5:30 pm on Tuesday (4/23) at Staples Stadium.
