The FCIAC soccer finals will have a Ridgefield theme.

The RHS boys and girls teams both advanced to Wednesday's conference title games at Norwalk High with semifinal wins on Monday night.

The top-seeded Ridgefield girls recovered from a 1-0 halftime deficit to edge fourth-seed Greenwich, 1-0, at Wilton.

D.D. Caravelli tied the game on a penalty kick, and Monica Brown added the game-winner later in the second half.

Meanwhile at Fairfield Ludlowe, the second-seeded RHS boys had no such drama in a 3-0 victory over third-seed Bridgeport Central.

Rex Messing opened the scoring on a long free kick just five minutes into the game, and Jeff Amorello and Connor McCarthy followed with second-half goals for the Tigers.

In Wednesday's finals at Norwalk, the RHS girls will play New Canaan at 5 and the RHS boys will face Staples at 7.
