A key boys soccer matchup between Staples and Greenwich turned into a rout today. The Wreckers overcame an early 1-0 deficit, pouring in three goals in each half to win 6-2.
The win raises Staples to 10-1-2, while Greenwich drops to 9-2-3. The Wreckers—now in 2nd place in the FCIAC—host Bridgeport Central on Monday at 4 p.m.
Five different players scored for the Westporters: Keaton Cristobal (2), Brendon Cristobal, Preston Hirten, Russell Oost-Lievense and Justin Rodriguez.
Assists came from Hirten (2), Oost-Lievense, Keaton Cristobal, Matt Lamb and Matt Sych.
Dave Sharpe and Brad Green were both in goal.
“This was an important test for us,” head coach Dan Woog said. “Greenwich came to play—and so did we. All 23 players who suited up played, and played formidably. You can’t ask for better balance than that.”
Before the game, the Wreckers formally dedicated the new terraced seating project. Woog thanked the many Westport soccer supporters, who can now watch both the boys’ and girls’ teams in comfort.
