WESTON — It says a lot about the enduring legacy of the Darien field hockey program that in the spotlight of a state semifinal game, the leaders of the Blue Wave’s offense were a senior veteran and a freshman who just joined the varsity team a few weeks ago.
Ryan Hapgood, the freshman, delivered a hat trick and Molly Hellman, the senior co-captain, had a goal and two assists as Darien topped Ridgefield, 4-1, in the CIAC Class L semifinals Tuesday at Weston High School.
