An injury-ravaged squad facing a must-win game.

Not the most desirable situation, but precisely where the Ridgefield High boys soccer team found itself Friday evening.

Nonetheless, the Tigers got what they needed: A 2-1 victory on Senior Night over St. Joseph.

Goals from seniors Connor Broderick and Nick Yulo were enough for Ridgefield in a tense game at Tiger Hollow.

The triumph ended a three-match winless streak for Ridgefield, which is now 4-7-1 with four games remaining. More important, it moved the Tigers closer to securing a berth in the Class LL state tournament.
