good opportunities in the first five minutes alone, with Maddie Duffy putting a shot just wide, Troetti stopping
Meg Cunningham at the right post and Cunningham putting a close-range shot wide after a tremendous run
down the middle.

Later, Katherine Campbell was stopped in front after a pass by Bridget Ward, and Delaney Baxendale was
blocked by Troetti after a hit into the arc by Olivia DeLuca. Mahon had a strong run to the end line and rolled a
ball into the arc, but nobody was
there to finish the play and the
ball rolled clear.

The Bears didn’t muster much
offense but made it count, scoring
about eight minutes into the game
when Alex Whalen tallied on
Norwalk’s lone corner of the
game.

The first 20 minutes of the
second half were evenly played,
as the Warriors were unable to
put any pressure on Troetti – with
only one shot, which was blocked
by a defender.

Finally, with 7:50 left, Wilton
tied the game when Delaney
Chase scored near the right post
on a deflection, with the assist going to Bridget Ward.

The Warriors scored just 80 seconds later, off another corner, as Caroline Ferro’s blast was knocked down by
Ward in front, with Jillian Mahon knocking the loose ball in to make it 2-1 with 6:30 left.

For the game, Wilton had an 8-2 edge in shots on goal and 15-1 edge in corners. Amanda Hendry made one
save in goal for the Warriors. The Warriors got a solid game on the back line by Caroline Taverna, with Ferro,
Katie Leffel and Meredith Rappaport also making key plays.

Norwalk dropped to 5-6-0-1 with the loss.
