GAMES TO WATCH Hall at Enfield co-op (Enfield Twin), Friday, 7:50 p.m.:
Like Wednesday against Rocky Hill, Hall is looking this week to finalize its berth in the Division III tournament and move into the CCC South tournament. Enfield is secure in states and similarly needing points for the CCC tournament.
FCIAC quarterfinals, Saturday, higher seeds: Perhaps the most intriguing is Westhill/Stamford, the seventh seed, visiting Darien. The Blue Wave won in the regular season but had to come from behind to do it with help from a Charlie Schwind Michigan goal.
Guilford at Hamden (Astorino), Saturday, noon: The teams come into the week a few points apart for eighth in Division II. Home game on the line here? Maybe.
Masuk at North Branford (Northford), Saturday, 2:30 p.m.: North Branford has been a solid Division II team, building off last year’s run to the semifinals, the only team to beat the East Haven co-op. Why note a game with a D-III team, even if it’s the defending D-III champ? Well, Masuk keeps mixing in big wins through some ups and downs, with its potent offense most recently taking down another solid Division II team, Guilford.
Northwest Catholic at Simsbury (ISCC), Saturday, 6:10 p.m.: Simsbury won the first meeting 3-1. Here’s the second meeting of up to four.
Northwest Catholic at Notre Dame-West Haven (Bennett), Monday, 8 p.m.: You know those stats that pop up every now and then about how “(pro team X) hasn’t played a game outside its time zone in” however long? Here’s the Connecticut high schools version: Northwest Catholic hasn’t played a game south of Hartford since Christmas. The Lions beat Notre Dame at home 52 weeks ago.
SCC/SWC Division III semifinals, Tuesday, Danbury Ice Arena: Of course it comes down to the last game: Wednesday’s JBWA-New Milford game (at Canterbury, 7:15 p.m.) will set the seeds and pairings.
