The Wilton High boys soccer team was 15 minutes away from its first victory on the new turf surface at Kristine Lilly Field.
But then Darien got a goal to tie the score and the teams finished in a 1-1 draw Friday afternoon in Wilton.
Head coaches are never totally pleased with a tie, especially if their team had opportunities to score more goals. In this game, both teams had numerous chances, and the final score could have been 3-1 or 4-1 in favor of either.
