UPDATES
• Field hockey: Having graduated 13 seniors, this was supposed to be the year the Darien field hockey team started to come back to the pack, or at least that's what some observers suggested. But it hasn't happened yet.
On Saturday, the Blue Wave edged Hand 1-0 in a rematch of last year's CIAC Class M state final, won by Darien, 4-2. A week ago, Darien posted a 4-3 victory at Lakeland/Panas (N.Y.), which was ranked No. 1 in the country at the time.

The defending four-time state champion Blue Wave have gotten off to a 7-0 start, extending their unbeaten streak to 83 games (80-0-3).
• Football: The Darien football team, which defeated St. Joseph 31-7 to improve to 3-0, has climbed to 15th in this week's New Haven Register top 10 state media poll.

Xavier (3-0, 13 first-place votes) leapfrogged Masuk (3-0, 12) back into the No. 1 spot. The teams may jockey for the top ranking all year.
Ansonia (3-0) climbed over New Canaan (3-0), which needed a strong fourth quarter to defeat Fairfield Warde 28-14, into the No. 3 spot.
Completing the poll are: No. 5 Hand (3-0), No.6 New London (2-0), which routed Greenwich, 51-33, No. 7 Staples (3-0), No. 8 Windsor (3-0) No. 9 West Haven (3-0) and No. 10 Bunnell (3-0), which was unranked last week.
Staples, which rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat McMahon 24-21 on a last-second field goal, also fell one spot.
