The win moved the Lady Wreckers (8-5-1) one step closer to a berth in the FCIAC tournament and will improve Staples seeding for the state tournament.
Both goals were scored in the first half and assisted by Abbey Lake. The first goal was set up by Lake beating a Danbury defender to the endline and crossing to senior Kate Burke who scored from close range.
Staples’ second goal came off of a rebound of a shot by Lake that was tucked into the far corner by an opportunistic Jaclyn Katz. Jesse Ambrose posted the shutout for the Lady Wreckers who close out the regular season on Thursday at 4 p.m. against Greenwich at Loeffler Field.
