The match will feature two of the league’s top players in Ridgefield’s Caroline Curnal and Stamford’s Andrea O’Connor, now in their senior seasons.

Stamford is 2-1 to open the season, losing to Foran 3-2 in their first match and then defeating Shelton 3-1, and Ludlowe 3-2.

Ridgefield has won both of its matches 3-0 over Simsbury and Trumbull.
