Stamford
beat Darien 67-57 in the girls’ basketball home opener on Friday
December 13th.
The Wave had a strong game from sophomore Kaeleigh
Morrill
and senior captain Kelly
Karczewski
who
scored a team high of 28 points.
Darien trailed 14-10 after one quarter, but was ahead 32-26 at the
half, and still held the lead, 46-41 after the third quarter. Senior
captain
Emily
Stein was another stand out player
scoring five field goals, and was 2-for-2 from the line for a total
of 12 points. Stein worked the boards extremely hard, grabbing
rebounds on offense and defense to maintain possession for the wave.
Sophomore Erin Karczewski also had a strong game finishing with 10
points for the wave. However, Stamford came out strong in the fourth
quarter and the wave could just not hold on to the lead. This tough
defeat adds to the record making the team 0-2 so far this season.
“Compared
to our first game of the season against West Hill, we saw a huge
improvement in our shooting game and ball movement on the court. We
came out really strong and kept the fast pace that we like because of
our speed but started to lose it in the second half. We are a very
small team this year height wise and numbers wise but I think as the
season progresses we will pull out some wins,” junior Avery Maley
said.
Come
support the team at the next home game at 7:00 on December 18th
as the girls take on Wilton!
