New Canaan's Drew Pyne hands the ball off during the Rams win over Prep 

The eight-seeded New Canaan Rams came into Rafferty Stadium in Fairfield and took down the number five seeded Fairfield Prep Jesuits 38-7 on Sunday afternoon.

New Canaan got on the board with 8:32 left in the first quarter on a J.R. Moore two-yard touchdown run.

The Rams went up 10-0 when Nicholas Radman connected on a 21-yard field goal with 1:14 left first quarter.

New Canaan extended their lead to 17-0 with 39 seconds left in the half. Following a Prep fumble that gave the Rams the ball at their own 41, Drew Pyne connected with Wyatt Wilson for a 52-yard touchdown.

Prep got on the board with 4:15 left in the third. Following a New Canaan missed field goal, the Jesuits marched down the field and John Iaropoli connected with Finn Duran for the 16-yard touchdown.

On the next possession, New Canaan answered right back as Moore ran in for the 10-yard touchdown to put the Rams on top 24-7.

Defensively, Jack Finnigan picked off a Prep pass and brought it back to the Jesuits 14-yard line with 1:40 left in the third. Later on the drive, New Canaan recovered their own fumble in the end-zone for a touchdown to put the Rams ahead 31-7. The ball was recovered by Harrison Skym.

O'Connell put the icing on the cake with a 23-yard touchdown run to cap the scoring with 5:33 left.

The Rams will play Greenwich in the Class LL Championship on Saturday at a time and site to be determined.
