Games to watch
Notre Dame-West Haven at Fairfield Prep (Wonderland), Saturday, 4 p.m.: The Green Knights won 6-1 at home in early January, probably the low point for the Jesuits in an up-and-down first half. How far have they come? The No. 1 team in the state will give them a chance to find out.
Greenwich at Fairfield (Wonderland), Saturday, 8 p.m.: The FCIAC teams wrap their regular seasons, but bigger than that, the hosts will retire Charlie Capalbo’s number before the game.
Westhill/Stamford at North Haven (Northford), Monday, 1 p.m.:
Westhill/Stamford’s only losses are against Division I teams; it’s the only Division II team that can say that. It is also tied with Woodstock Academy for the fewest games by a Division II team against Division II opponents, four. (Woodstock’s also 5-0 against Division I teams.) Its fifth Division II game is against the No. 8 Nighthawks.
