Trumbull scored three times in the first half, then fended off a fierce Staples challenge today to emerge with a 3-1 win.

The Wrecker goal – also in the first half – came off Mikey Scott’s long throw. Frankie Bergonzi headed it home.
“Believe it or not, I’m not totally displeased,” said head coach Dan Woog. “This was the most cohesive, intelligent and passionate soccer we’ve played all year—and we did it against a very good, fast and aggressive team.
“We’re playing now for the right to meet Trumbull again this year, in the post-season. When the history of this team is written, today’s loss might be one of the key turning points.”
