The girls basketball team lost its first game of the season on Friday, falling 57-52 at the Zeoli Field to Wilton, which rallied from a nine-point deficit in the third quarter.
Sarah Mannelly had 16 points and Courtney Rogers added to pace New Canaan, which reached the FCIAC semifinals last season. The Rams dropped to 1-1.
Wilton, meanwhile, is serving early notice that it may be a force with which to be reckoned in the FCIAC this season.
Casey Pearsall scored 15 of her 23 points in the second half as the Warriors improved to 2-0. Maddie Fulton and Erin Cunningham each added 10 points for Wilton.
With Wilton trailing 51-50, Pearsall hit two free throws with 36 seconds remaining to put the Warriors ahead for good.
