The New Canaan Rams dropped their first game of the season to Notre Dame-West Haven, 3-2, over the weekend. The Rams have a new look this season with coach Clark Jones, and look to replace 15 graduating seniors. Last season, the Rams finished 16-3-1 overall and 9-1-1 in the FCIAC. This season the Rams will rely on captains Gunnar Granito, Quinn McMahon, and Chase Glover to get them back in the postseason to contend for a title.
The Hamden Green Dragons, who play in the Southern Connecticut Conference, enter this game with an impressive 6-4 victory over Darien on opening night. Senior forward Tyler Routh is coming off a hat trick against the Blue Wave and will look to continue his great start to the season against the Rams.
