Varsity Girl's Soccer Ties Danbury In Scoreless Draw



By Ford Thompson           
The Girls’ Varsity Soccer fought valiantly against Danbury last Friday (Sept 26), managing to leave Danbury High School with a scoreless draw. This season has been a bit of the struggle for the team because of the loss of last year’s seniors, but they’ve been able to cope with the loss with a huge number of skilled underclassmen.
The team came into the game with two wins, two losses, and a draw, but were building a lot of momentum from their previous matches against Wilton and Norwalk.  Danbury on the other hand, had a record of three wins and two losses.  The match was bound to be a difficult one for both teams entering the game, but each confident that they could pull out the win. 
The match was a constant back and forth battle between the two, as the Blue Wave managed to fire off a massive twelve shots, but were not able to capitalize on any of the shots as the Danbury goalkeeper kept strong throughout the match.  Junior goalkeeper Katie Fiore had a rather quiet day in net, but preserved the draw with three saves. 
In a post-game interview, senior captain Kendra Fitzpatrick said, “It was a great game, as Danbury is a very good team.  Although we tied, we are happy with the result.”
