On Sunday the girls started their day early with a game against New Canaan, winning 1-0. They had trouble finding the net and finally scored on a penalty kick by Lauren Carrino. In the final game of the tournament, the girls were held by Old Greenwich to a 0-0 tie despite keeping the ball on the Old Greenwich side the entire game. Strong play by Alison Kelleher, Audrey Benson, and Jenna Lavelle helped keep the ball away from the Newtown goalies.
