The Staples boys soccer team scored three minutes into sudden-death overtime Monday, edging Fairfield Warde 2-1 at the losers’ home field.
The Wreckers scored first, in the 36th minute, when Ross McGibney tore down the left sideline, then fed Chris Meinke who waited patiently before finishing low and hard.
The Mustangs equalized 11 minutes into the second half, but the Westporters earned their second victory against no defeats when Charlie Reiter’s corner kick was touched on by McGibney, into the box.
Central midfielder Jon Zimmerman was there to ram it home. Staples’ next game is Wednesday, 7 p.m., at Trumbull High.
