Darien is looking to reach the state final for the fourth time in five years. The Blue Wave won three straight titles from 2007-2009 before being upset by Greenwich in the semifinals last year.

In 2009, Darien defeated New Canaan 16-8 in the Division II. This year, the CIAC expanded the girls lacrosse state tournament to three divisions: classes S, M, and L.

Meanwhile, the Darien boys lacrosse team will face Wilton at Fairfield Ludlowe on Wednesday (4:30 p.m.) just before the girls go on.
