GET OUT AND GO

Ridgefield at St. Joseph, Monday, 4 p.m.: Ridgefield comes off its first loss to New Canaan, which was the first team to score a goal against the Tigers this season. Game was postponed from Thursday due to inclement weather.

Cheshire at Amity, Wednesday, 3:45 p.m.: Amity shut out Cheshire the first time around, but the Rams are playing much better now.

Cromwell at Morgan (Indian River Complex), Saturday, 10:30 a.m.: Morgan will be looking to avenge its lone loss in a potential preview of the Shoreline Conference tournament final.

Weston at Watertown, Saturday, 4 p.m.: Love these non-conference matchups late in the season. Should prove beneficial for both clubs as the postseason approaches.

OF NOTE

New Canaan became the first team to not only score on Ridgefield, but also defeat the reigning Class LL state champions 1-0 on Saturday.

Maria Nolan scored her 50th career goal in Granby’s 5-0 win over Ellington.
