The Garnets completed a stellar regular season. After dropping a 2-0 contest with Arlington in the opener, Rye exhibited great scoring balance and a rigid defensive unit to win 14 of 15. The only blemish was a tie with Albertus Magnus in mid-September. Rye is a slight favorite entering what should be a competitive Section 1 Class A tournament.

Katie Boehm converted a Lindsay Wolf pass in the 67^th minute to give the third-seeded Warriors all the offense necessary to top Bernards, 1-0, on Saturday in the Somerset quarterfinals. Kaylee Donnelly turned away five shots in the shutout. Chloe Ferreira scored twice on Tuesday to key a 2-1 win over Phillipsburg, Watchung Hills’ fifth in a row.

The Redbirds continue to be both overpowering and unyielding.

The Tigers couldn’t keep the momentum after an emotional win over St. Joseph two weeks ago. They were beaten by Staples and played New Canaan to a scoreless tie this week. Ridgefield is fourth behind Staples, Darien and St. Joseph for the top seed in the FCIAC tournament, which begins next week.

There’s just something about Ridgefield for the Cadets, who were handed their first loss on Monday in a rematch of the FCIAC title game. St. Joe’s, the two-time Class M state champs, were also coming off a tie with Trumbull on Saturday. They should be able to rebuild momentum for the postseason and get another crack at Ridgefield.
