Staples struck first, in today’s boys soccer game against bitter FCIAC rival Trumbull. But the Golden Eagles equalized with just 1:23 to play.
The 1-1 draw – while disappointing – kept the Wreckers unbeaten, and on top of the FCIAC standings with a 6-0-2 mark.
Steve Smith’s goal eight minutes before halftime put Staples on top. The midfielder’s hard, low blast was assisted by Ben Root, with good work earlier on the sideline by Dylan Evans. Trumbull’s goal, by Liam O’Sullivan, came on a header off a cross by Keith Bond.
“We’ve proven we can play with anyone,” said head coach Dan Woog. “Now we have to prove we can beat them.” The Wreckers are on the road Monday, for a 4 p.m. clash at Greenwich.
