The most recent came today at Loeffler Field. Andrew Puchala rammed in a bouncing ball off Jack Scott’s throw early in the second half. But the Golden Eagles knotted the score 11 minutes later on a left-footed free kick from the edge of the goal box.
Staples had several excellent opportunities to win, on shots by Diego Alanis, Yousef Shahin and George Kokkalis, among others. But the visitors threatened too. Wrecker goalkeeper Noah Schwaeber matched his Trumbull counterpart, with several superb punch and tip saves in the very entertaining second half.
