The Blue Wave Boys Varsity soccer team suffered a defeat on Friday, September 8th to the Greenwich Cardinals. Wave conceded 3 times and dug themselves too big a hole to escape. Greenwich’s hitman Woojin Kwak scored the 1st goal and the Cardinals never looked back. Although they struggled Darien’s Johan Trippitelli had one moment of magic as he channelled his inner-Messi while taking a defender on and flicking the ball effortlessly over the defender's foot which led to a long shot that had the keeper tripping over his own feet to save.
In what was a forgettable showing there were a few positives to take from this game. Senior Goalkeeper David Volz, despite letting in 3 goals, showed a heroic effort making countless saves throughout the game. Although young Darien’s juniors and sophomores looked promising and should be pillars of future success. Lack of experience seemed to be John Bradley’s side’s main weakness as they’re trying to make up for losing goal scoring machine Pablo Martinez to Johns Hopkins.
Greenwich are a top ranked team in the state and the Blue Wave gave them a great effort. Senior keeper David Volz said, “Yeah we struggled but they are a very talented team and I think we learned a lot about the toughness of our team.” Hopefully Darien can recover past years form in the games to come.
Come watch Darien @ Bridgeport Central on wednesday Sep 13th 6 P.M.
