Boys' Lacrosse: Friday and Saturday's Top Games (5/6 and 5/7)

Friday 5/6

Hall @ Simsbury @ 530pm
-In the only good game on the day, Hall faces their third straight quality opponent (and only 3 so far this season) while Simsbury gets the closest thing to a closest game they will play for another couple weeks. Simsbury should win but Hall may be able to pull off the upset.

Saturday 5/7
Xavier @ #2 Fairfield Prep @ 245pm
-Some may say Prep will roll right over the Falcons, especially since they will be fired up from their first in-state loss to #6 Greenwich but Xavier has the potential to beat any team in the state (#1 Darien excluded) any time they step on the field.  Xavier is that last SCC win Prep needs to prove they are the best in the conference and that will be enough motivation for the Jesuits to play at the top of their game at home in this one.

Fairfield Ludlowe @ #3 Ridgefield @ 3
-Ludlowe is a underrated team but anything can happen in the FCIAC as #6 Greenwich demonstrated on Tuesday.  Ridgefield really needs to bounce back form that loss and Ludlowe is the perfect opportunity for them to do that.

#1 Darien @ #7 New Canaan @ 4
-New Canaan beat #5 Wilton in a game the Rams were considered huge underdogs so yet again they will get a shot at the top of the FCIAC and the state in the role they seem to thrive in: underdog.

#6 Greenwich @ Billerica (MA) @ 6
-Greenwich is flying high after premier wins over #3 Ridgefield and #2 Fairfield Prep this week.  Billerica is the #2 in the MIAA East (147 schools) and #1 in MA 1 (similar to a Class L in CT) so they are right up there with Ridgefield and Prep in terms of talent.  The Cardinals better get up and ready for this, yet another, big game to cap off the week in lacrosse!
