Boys' Lacrosse: Wednesday and Thursday's Top Games (5/18 and 5/19)

Wednesday 5/18

Masuk @ #10 Newtown @ 330pm
-Newtown needs this decent win to rebound from their horrible 12-13 loss to Norwalk on Monday.

Joel Barlow @ New Fairfield @ 4
-Barlow is my #11 team and with Newtown's loss Monday, they are poised to re-enter the Top Ten next week.  New Fairfield is 13-2, with their only losses being Rye (NY) and Newtown.  If Barlow gets the big win here their stock will be on the rise!

#3 Fairfield Prep @ St. Anthony's (NY) @ 430
-The Jesuits are coming off their 14-10 win over Hand on Monday as they go to New York to take on a fellow Catholic school, St. Anthony's.  St. Anthony's is the number two in New York's Catholic school league.

#6 Ridgefield @ #1 Darien @ 430
-One of the most anticipated games of the season, the two top teams in the FCIAC (record-wise) square off in afternoon game at Darien's Stadium Field.  Can Ridgefield be the one and only team to beat Darien this season in the final game of the regular season for both?

#7 Brien McMahon @ #9 Glastonbury @ 5
-Its make or break time for both of these teams as a win for Glastonbury would jump them into the top eight and drop McMahon out of it, from their highest point at #4.  A win for McMahon does the exact opposite and gives them the ability to move up next week while G-bury may drop to the ten spot again.

#4 New Canaan @ Cheshire @ 7
-An interesting cross-conference game for NC to close out their season on as they get a shot at the defending Class L champions , Cheshire.  On the other hand, Cheshire is coming off a big 9-6 come-from-behind win over 10-3 Xavier and can gain a lot of respect with another huge upset win here!

Thursday 5/19

Conard @ Hall @ 515pm
-The West Hartford rivalry should be good again this year as Conard is one of the better teams in the state this year and Hall may have lost to all the good teams they faced so far but they beat the rest of the CCC so they will be a threat come tournament time.

#10 Newtown @ Weston @ 530
-A great way to close out the season in the SWC as Weston is 10-3 and Newton needs the quality win moving into states and, first and more importantly, the SWC tournament.

Guilford @ Cheshire @ 730
-Game of the day for sure, Guiulford is seeking revenge for a 2-6 loss in the second game of the season.  If all the Indians are there and healthy, they have gotten a lot better from the beginning of the season and will be very hungry to take this coveted SCC game from the defending champs.  Cheshire will most likely be rebounding from their game against New Canaan as they head into the SCC tournament next week as the #2 seed.
