The Staples boys soccer team scored three times in the second half, en route to a 3-1 win today at Danbury.
The Wreckers, now 2-0-0, host Fairfield Ludlowe on Monday (4 p.m.) in their toughest test yet of the young season.
Freshman Brendan Lesch, celebrating his 15th birthday, served a great volley that Mike White headed home for the first goal.
After Danbury equalized, Lesch assisted on the game-winner, a scoop over the goalkeeper by Alex Gendell. Gendell then fed Russell Oost-Lievense for the insurance tally, a rocket into the lower right corner.
“I was pleased with our patience and focus,” said head coach Dan Woog. “This was not an easy match, against a senior-laden team, but we got the job done nicely.”
