Sports editors and broadcasters at the HAN Network have nominated 10 male and female students for the HAN-FCIAC Athletes of Week 2 of the 2016-2017 winter sports season. Caroline Curnal and Matteo van Wees, seniors at Ridgefield High School, are among the students nominated.
Curnal, a member of the RHS Girls Basketball Team, had a double-double as the Tigers defeated Danbury, 59-43, on Tuesday night to improve to 8-1 this season and 6-1 in the conference. Curnal’s night included a career-high 21 points and 12 rebounds.
Van Wees, a member of the RHS Boys Ice Hockey Team, scored four of Ridgefield’s five goals in the Tigers’ 5-1 win over Greenwich last Tuesday at the Winter Garden. His performance included one goal in the first period to open the scoring, and two in the third to put the game away. Van Wees also scored a goal in Ridgefield’s 5-1 victory over Glastonbury on Saturday.
