Playing its second game in two days against a Division I opponent, the Wilton High boys hockey team gave Greenwich, the state's top-ranked team, a battle before losing, 8-4, on Tuesday in Greenwich.
The Warriors fell behind 3-0 after the first period, but then got goals from Kyle Jonas and David Craven early in the second period to pull within 3-2.
Greenwich followed with two goals, but once again Wilton responded. Craven scored on an assist from Jonas, and Ned Zawislak added a power-play goal to cut the Cardinals' lead to 5-4 through two periods.
Greenwich then got third-period goals from Ian Fulton, Montana Larson and Mike Mozian to finally secure the victory and remain unbeaten in its last 14 games.
