In future years, the CIAC should do away with the formalities and eliminate all non-FCIAC teams from the state lacrosse tournaments.
Just cut to the chase and conduct an FCIAC invitational. One can argue whether the FCIAC is the best league in the state in other sports. When it comes to lacrosse, there is no debate.

The FCIAC once again is proving, as it does every year, that it is far and away the premier league for lacrosse in Connecticut.
Twelve FCIAC teams are still alive, six on the boys' side and six on the girls' side. The breakdown:

Boys (semifinalists):
L -- Ridgefield and Staples
M - Darien, Wilton, New Canaan
S -- St. Joseph.
With Ridgefield facing Staples and Darien meeting Wilton, the FCIAC is guaranteed to have two teams in the state finals. St. Joseph, which has played in the Class S final the last two years,could make it three.
Girls (quarterfinalists):
L -- Fairfield Ludlowe, Staples and Greenwich
M - Wilton, New Canaan and Darien
The seeding, of course, mean nothing.There have been three cases where double-digit FCIAC teams have won games.
On the boys' side, No. 12 Greenwich defeated No. 5 Glastonbury, 12-10, and No. 12 St. Joseph defeated No. 5 and defending state champion Weston, 8-6.
Maybe the most telling score was the Darien girls' 22-4 romp over No. 4 Barlow as a No. 13 seed. These results are technically upsets but there aren't really.
There have been 12 cases where FCIAC teams won games by a margin of double figures:
Boys, Class L( 4): Staples 15, South Windsor 4; McMahon 16, Hamden 2; Ridgefield 20, Norwich Free Academy 6; Ridgefield 17, Conard 5
Boys, Class M (4): Darien 17, Notre Dame, West Haven 2; Wilton 19, Windsor 4; New Canaan 15, Hand 3; Wilton 13, Guilford 1
Girls, Class L (1): Staples 19, Southington 9
Girls, Class M (3): Darien 22, Barlow 4; Wilton 19, Bethel 7; New Canaan 17, Windsor 5
