Lady Warriors Downed by Blue Wave

On Friday night, Darien's shooting shined, and the Warriors couldn't quite keep up, falling to the Blue Wave 47-35.  

Liz Calby led Darien with 17 points, and Anna Rae Anderson provided a spark off the bench with 11 points, including three 3 pointers.    

Wilton's game showed promise in the first half, but Anderson's 8 points, all from the outside, kept the Wave even. Calby's bucket at the buzzer gave Darien a 19-17 lead at the half.  

It was in the third quarter that the Wave made their move, finishing the quarter with a 15-2 run fueled by two Calby 3 pointers.

The lead grew to 19 points in the fourth quarter, before the Warriors made a 7 point run to cut the margin to 12 with 1:47 left; but the Wave was able to close out the game without further issue.

With the loss, Wilton moves to 2-7 on the year, while Darien goes to 6-2 in the FCIAC, and 7-3 overall.
