The New Canaan girls basketball looks to snap a four-game losing streak on Tuesday when the Rams host Greenwich at 7 p.m.
The Rams are coming off a 43-23 loss to Stamford in which they trailed 25-2 at halftime. Greenwich (3-13, 3-11) may be the right opponent for New Canaan to face to get back in track although the Cardinals were competitive in a 45-34 loss to defending FCIAC champion Trumbull on Friday.
New Canaan (8-8, 6-8) has slipped to .500. While not mathematically eliminated from the FCIAC's playoff race, the Rams' realistic goal is to try to improve their state tournament seeding over the next two weeks.
Tuesday's contest is the first of three straight home games for New Canaan, which hosts Fairfield Ludlowe and Westhill before closing the regular season at undefeated Danbury.
The New Canaan boys basketball team visits Greenwich (7 p.m.), which has lost three in a row to jeopardize its FCIAC playoff spot.
New Canaan (1-13, 0-12) is coming off an 82-40 drubbing to Stamford while Greenwich (9-5, 7-5) suffered a tough 53-52 defeat at Trumbull on Friday.
