Staples went toe-to-toe today with Trumbull—unbeaten, unscored-upon, and the top-ranked Connecticut boys soccer team—but gave up a late goal and fell 1-0 Tuesday at home.
The loss leaves the Wreckers with a 4-2-0 record, prior to Thursday’s 4 p.m. match at Harding High in Bridgeport.
A header off a free kick was the only scoring at Loeffler Field. The goal came with 6:41 to play, and despite furious Staples pressure, the Golden Eagles remained undefeated.
“It hurts to not get at least 1 point (for a tie) out of a game like this,” said head coach Dan Woog. But it’s still September. No one has heard the last of this group, that’s for sure.”
