GHS girls soccer team shuts down Norwalk

Finishing was an issue for the Greenwich High School girls soccer team, which struggled to register goals during its first seven games of the season. Yet the past two outings have seen the Cardinals click offensively and light the scoreboard, while playing its usual solid defense.

As a result, Greenwich has posted two straight victories, one of which came Saturday when it defeated Norwalk, 6-0, at Cardinal Stadium.

Sophomore Sophia Bastek tallied twice, while Sam Sias, Nadine Anderson, Kelly Martyanov and Carly O’Brien each added one goal apiece for Greenwich (0-6-1).

BOYS SOCCER: Stamford rallies for win over Darien

STAMFORD—The Stamford boys soccer team was treading water, down two goals at halftime to Darien.

The life preserver came from an usual place as Stamford took advantage of two miscues by the Darien keeper and defense in the second half, rallying for three goals in the final 40 minutes and a surprising 4-3 win.

Kenly Lalanne scored all four Stamford goals, tallying three in the second half.

“I think this was pretty good. That has been our M.O. from the start of the year, playing much better in the second half,” Stamford coach Mario Caminiti said. “Today, we did not start out mentally ready. Our pregame warmup had me very concerned because we were not really focused. We talked about it at halftime and I told them I was depending on their leadership to fix it and they did it.”
