Darien (21-1), which advanced to the final with a 3-0 win over Fermi on Wednesday, won its only crown with a 3-1 victory over Enfield in 2008 in the Class M final.

After surpassing the 20-goal mark in its first two tournament wins, Darien, which is seeded just 13th, held off rival New Canaan 9-7 in the semifinals on Wednesday.

Hand (17-2) reached the final with a 12-9 overtime win over East Lyme.  Overtime in the state tournament is not sudden death. Instead, the teams play two full three-minute periods.

Track and Field: Darien's Elizabeth Crafford will be competing in the 66th annual New England interscholastic outdoor track and field championship in Burlington, Vermont after qualifying third in the pole vault with a jump of 11 feet.
