It certainly hasn’t been a dominant 2019-20 season for Fairfield Prep, but the Jesuits make their return to the top spot in the HNIB News Connecticut Division 1 rankings for the third different time this season.
The key for Fairfield Prep was a decisive win against Notre Dame-West Haven, allowing the Jesuits to leapfrog both the Green Knights and Darien, which dropped from the top spot to No. 2. The Blue Wave hit a rough patch this past weekend with losses to Connecticut powers Bishop Hendricken and LaSalle, the latter in overtime.
Notre Dame-West Haven dropped to No. 3 in the rankings.
No. 4 New Canaan beat Trumbull and also tied Xavier, which is up a spot to No. 5. Greenwich and Ridgefield also got a bump, while Simsbury tumbled to No. 8 with its loss to Northwest Catholic.
Fairfield Warde/Ludlowe holds the No. 9 spot again while Notre Dame-Fairfield re-enters the rankings after beating last week’s No. 10, West Haven.
There’s no question what is the marquee game this week as Darien welcomes Fairfield Prep on Wednesday (6, Wonderland of Ice). The Blue Wave won the last meeting two weeks ago, giving them temporary hold on the top spot.
Darien also hosts New Canaan on Saturday (3:50, Darien Ice House), while Notre Dame-West Haven is at Xavier on Wednesday (7, Bennett). On Tuesday, Greenwich visits Ridgefield (4:30, Dorothy Hamill).
