GREENWICH — Responding to adversity is the mark of a team on the rise and Staples faced a bit of it Tuesday against FCIAC lacrosse rival Greenwich.
The Cardinals struck first, scoring the matchup’s first th…
Darien and New Canaan remained affixed in the top two spots, but there was plenty of movement elsewhere in the Top 10 Girls Lacrosse Coaches poll for week two. The biggest jump came from the Greenwich Cardinals, who moved up four spots from 10 to 6 after defeating then-No. 3 Cheshire 13-12 last Thursday. The […]
Darien lost in the regular season for the first time in 54 games on Saturday. But it was to Manhasset (N.Y.) on Long Island, 10-5, and it had zero effect on this week’s GameTimeCT Top 10 Boys Lacrosse rankings. The Blue Wave, undefeated in Connecticut heading into Tuesday afternoon’s game vs. Fairfield Warde, remained No. […]
For the third-consecutive week, we have a new No. 1. Fairfield Prep led off the preseason poll No. 1. Last week, blazing hot Ridgefield claimed the mantle. This week’s new No. 1 is undefeated Ledyard. The Colonels have been on everybody’s radar since the preseason. They debuted at No. 7 and jumped to No. 3 […]

Darien, which pulled away from Ridgefield with eight-consecutive goals in last Friday’s 14-6 victory, is off to yet another scorching start and remained the consensus No. 1 in the Week 2 GameTimeCT Boys Lacrosse Top 10 Poll, published before games were played Tuesday. Ridgefield didn’t fall from its spot at No. 2. Neither did New […]

Ridgefield, which survived an ill-fated attempt to dry its field with gasoline-fueled fire (but now must wait for an estimated $50,000 cleanup) and moved the game to Woodbridge where it defeated perennial power Amity, 5-4, is the new No. 1 in the GameTimeCT Top 10 baseball poll as the second, full week of the season […]

Fairfield Prep spent a majority of last season No. 1, and looked primed to win its first baseball championship. But the dream, as if often does in the CIAC postseason, ended in an 10-inning heartbreaker, 5-4, to Cheshire, which went on to capture the Class LL title. Though the Jesuits graduated versatile Will Lucas and […]
Greenwich at Wilton (Kristine Lilly Field), April 17, 6 p.m. A clash of two of the FCIAC’s top teams, this game will be a key one in the conference seedings. It was a barn-burner last year, as Wilton pulled out a 12-11 overtime win at Greenwich High. The Cards will look to get even on […]

For the first time since 2013, Darien’s boys lacrosse program didn’t finish the season No. 1. A 9-8 upset by FCIAC rival Ridgefield in last year’s Class L championship game ended Darien’s four-year run as state champions, not to mention a 76-game win streak. Despite that loss, and despite losing a class of talented players […]
