Because of Saturday's forecast, which calls for the possibility of snow, the FCIAC has pushed back the start of the field hockey playoffs for 24 hours. The quarterfinals now will be played on Sunday at McMahon. Here is the revised scheduled:

No. 5 Stamford (8-4-1-0) vs. No. 5 Staples (7-2-3-1), 1 p.m

No. 6 New Canaan (8-4-1-0) vs. No. 3 Norwalk (10-2-1-0), 3 p.m.

No. 7 Fairfield Ludlowe (5-6-1-1) vs. No. 2 Wilton (11-2-0-0), 5 p.m

No. 9 Westhill (5-7-1-0) vs. No. 1 Darien (13-0-0-0), 7 p.m.

The semifinals are set for Wednesday at 5 and 7 p.m. with the highest remaining seed playing in the second game. The finals are back at McMahon on Friday at 4 p.m. 

Here is the revised schedule for the FCIAC girls soccer playoffs:

SATURDAY

No. 5 Darien (9-4-3) at No. 4 Greenwich (10-2-4), 10:30 a.m.

SUNDAY

No. 8 Trumbull (7-3-6) at No. 1 St. Joseph (14-1-1), 2 p.m.

No. 6 Wilton (8-3-5) at No. 3 Westhill (11-1-4), 3 p.m.

No. 7 Fairfield Warde (9-5-2) at No. 2 New Canaan (12-2-2), 3 p.m.

Semifinals are Tuesday at Wilton at 5 and 7 (higher seed in late game) and the final is Thursday at 5 p.m. at Norwalk.

The Wilton girls soccer team, which had already clinched a spot in the FCIAC playoffs, concluded its regular season Thursday with a 2-0 loss at Darien.

The Warriors (8-3-5) are the No. 6 seed and will visit No. 3 seed Westhill (11-1-4) in the quarterfinals on Saturday.

Trumbull tied Westhill 1-1 and Fairfield Warde defeated Trinity Catholic 3-0 to secure the other remaining spots still up for grabs.

The Eagles (7-3-6) snared the No. 8 seed and will play at top seed St. Joseph (14-1-1) in an all-Trumbull quarterfinal.

Staples stayed alive with a 4-0 win over Stamford earlier Thursdy, forcing Trumbull to get at least one point against Westhill and the Eagles accomplished the feat by rallying from a 1-0 deficit at halftime.

In the other quarterfinal games Saturday, No 2 seed New Canaan (12-2-2) hosts No. 7 Fairfield Warde (9-5-2) and No. 4 Greenwich (10-2-4) is at home for No. 5 Darien (9-4-3).

Wilton and Fairfield Warde tied for sixth, but the Warriors earned the higher seed based on their regular-season win over the Mustangs.

Things just don't get any easier for the Wilton football team.

One week after suffering a heartbreaking 35-34 double overtime loss to Darien, the Warriors face one of the state's most potent offenses.

Wilton (3-3) has the unenviable task of trying to slow down Matt Milano and company when it hosts New Canaan (6-0) on Friday at Fujitani Field (7 p.m.) .

Last week's New Canaan's offense was unstoppable as Milano threw six touchdown passes in the Rams' 43-14 victory over St. Joseph. Milano become the school's all-time leader in career TDs in last than two years a starter.

He completed 21-of-25 for 340 yards, throwing his first five TDs to Patrick Newtown, who had eight receptions for 196 yards.

Lou Marinelli won his 250th career game as New Canaan coach, a position he has held since 1982.

Wilton has dropped three in a row to fall back into the pack in the FCIAC after a 3-0 start.

Backup quarterback Brett Phillips played admirably for the Warriors last week, filling in for starter Sean Carroll, who was sidelined with a concussion. Phillips threw three TD passes to Rob Keers, including a late score that forced the overtime.
