New Canaan FC Girls U11 Red Team Beats Trumbull

The New Canaan FC U11 Girls Red Team defeated the Trumbull United Heat on Sunday amid cold temperatures and autumn snow flurries. As the New Canaan offense got off to a cold start in the first half, the tough defensive play that has been the Red Team’s signature all season took center stage. The defense of Nola Kammerer and Kate Caione, with Ava Gizzie in the goal thwarted all of Trumbull’s attempts to score and the half ended in a 0-0 tie. The scoring in the second half began as Caroline Underwood weaved her way past the Trumbull defense and buried a shot in the net after receiving a lead pass from Gizzie. With the score now 1-0, Katharine Byrne was fouled just outside the box drawing a free kick.

New Canaan Girls U10 Red Notch 3-1 Win over FUSA Red 2

New Canaan Girls U10 Red traveled to Fairfield on Sunday to take on FUSA Red 2. It took a full team effort in what would prove to be a very physical game to come away with their second win of the season. Both sides started out on the offensive and New Canaan first half goalie Kathryn Norton was tested early as she made several key saves. Defenders Maggie Murphy and Devon Russell were constantly fighting off Fairfield attacks deep in the zone and moving the ball up field. The play at midfield was no less intense with Lila Volpe and Fiona Mueller driving down the field one minute and immediately reversing course to chase down Fairfield’s players the next.
