On Tuesday, November 11, the Boys Varsity Soccer team traveled to West Haven to take on Glastonbury. The Blue Wave started out really strong in the first half and the beginning of the second but started to lose steam after that. There were three goals throughout the whole game and they all belonged to Glastonbury. The goals were spaced out pretty evenly with the first goal being scored in the first half, the second at the beginning of the second half, and the third scored right at the end of the game. Junior and goalie Liam Rischmann was determined during the game and saved a lot of shots, however, three got past him. The boys did not give up and continued to fight to the end. Juniors Andrew Matthew and Hunter Kooyman, as well as seniors John Mackie and Henrik Stockinger were stand outs during this important game. Senior Kai Bjornstad, a key player for the team, was not able to play due to a last minute injury. The team has worked very hard this season and it has been reflected in their accomplishments. “The game doesn’t reflect the brilliant season we had. We broke records and made history and nothing and no one can take that away from us. I hope we earned the respect that the soccer program deserves. The team, managers, and fans were amazing and all played a big role in this season’s success”, said senior captain Henrik Stockinger.
A big shout out goes to the students who took the hour-long journey and attended the game. They came loud and proud with their homemade posters. Unfortunately, Glastonbury won 3-0 and advances on to the Class LL finals. The boys definitely made Darien High School proud with an outstanding season. Good job boys!
