Fairfield Ludlowe Girls' Soccer Wins Thriller Over Fairfield Warde

The Fairfield Ludlowe girls’ soccer team kept its playoff hopes alive in dramatic fashion with a 1-0 victory over rival Fairfield Warde last Thursday night at Tetreau/Davis Field.

Sophomore Clare Mengel scored the eventual game-winning goal for Ludlowe, which improved to 4-5-2.

It was the first loss for Fairfield Warde (8-1-1).

“We’ve had an up and down season, so to have this win is unbelievable,” Mengel told Mary Albl of GameTimeCT/New Haven Register.
