The FCIAC girls volleyball playoffs get under way Thursday with four quarterfinals scheduled.

Ridgefield is the second seed but is unable to host as it normally would by earning one of the top four seeds. Therefore, the Tigers will play their quarterfinal match against No. 7 seed Danbury as part of a doubleheader at Staples at 6 p.m. Staples, the No. 3 seed, hosts No. 6 Stamford at 4 p.m.

Here is Thursday's first-round schedule:

No. 8 Fairfield Ludlowe at No. 1 Darien, 4 p.m.

No. 7 Danbury vs. No. 2 Ridgefield, 6 p.m., at Staples

No. 6 Stamford at No. 3 Staples, 4 p.m.

No. 5 Greenwich at No. 4 New Canaan, 4 p.m.

The semifinals (Friday at 5 and 7 p.m.) and the finals (Saturday at 4 p.m.) are all at Fairfield Ludlowe.

The CIAC has announced that the state Open cross country meet, scheduled for Friday at Manchester's Wickham Park, has been postponed until next Tuesday.

The site of the meet also has been changed as the girls and boys races now will be take place at at Hammonasset State Park in Madison. The boys will start at 1:45 p.m., followed by the girls at 2:30 p.m.

The Darien boys (Class L) and the Ridgefield and Wilton girls (Class LL and Class L, respectively) won class championships on Saturday at Wickham Park, which is unavailable for the state Open because of damage it suffered in Saturday's snowstorm.

The Open competition will determine which runners qualify for the New England championships Nov. 12 at Ponaganset High School in North Scituate, R.I.

In its inaugural Fall Ball season, the Ridgefield Little League Lady Tigers softball team posted a 12-2 record for September and October games.

"Most of the girls in the program have played together since elementary school, so they have developed a great camaraderie," said Steve Westington, RLL travel softball director.

"These girls respect each other as teammates and give 100 percent in each 12U and 14U game we played this fall. Most surprising was the contribution from the 11-year-old players who joined the team."

Ridgefield Little League is dedicated to building character as well as developing the best possible softball players in a fun and enthusiastic environment.
