Editor's Note: Send any write-ups on youth or recreational games in your town to michaeld+sports@patch.com

The boys hockey team is making its move.

The Warriors blanked St. Joseph 3-0 on Saturday at the Danbury Ice Arena for their second win in as many days.

Wilton, which was coming off a 7-3 victory over Fairfield on Friday, improved to 6-8 after an 0-7 start.

Wilton has won three straight games and six of its last seven and is two wins away from making the state tournament.

After a scoreless first period,  Cole Rance, Joey Cullinan and Matt Kobyra all scored in the second period against St. Joseph to give the Warriors a 3-0 lead. Goaltender Nick Wells made 24 saves to record the shutout.

The Warriors have a busy week ahead with three games on tap. On Tuesday, they visit Stamford, then host Ridgefield on Wednesday. The week concludes with a contest at Staples-Weston-Shelton on Saturday.

The Wilton boys basketball team suffered its second straight loss Friday, falling to Bassick 85-67 in Bridgeport.

The Warriors fell despite a spectacular game from Chris Nugent, who scored a career-high 30 points and grabbed 14 rebounds.

Wilton dropped to 6-8 and needs to win two of its final six games to earn its first state tournament berth since 1999.

The Warriors were competitive early, leading 13-12 after the first quarter. But Bassick blitzed Wilton in the second period, outscoring the Warriors 32-12 to open a 44-25 lead at the intermission.

Weston Wilbur scored 12 points and Ian Ross added 11 for the Warriors,  who have a winnable game on Tuesday when they host Darien.

Bassick standout Demetrius Thomas,who was ineligible earlier in the season due to academic issues, had a huge game with 28 points and 15 rebounds.

The Lions, who are the defending FCIAC champions, improved to 12-3 with five games remaining in the regular season.
