The 12-1-2 (regular season) Staples boys scoccer team earned the seventh seed in the state class LL tournament—the highest of the 10 FCIAC teams qualifying for the 30-team event.
Staples’ first round opponent is the Danbury Hatters—a team they did not face in the regular season—with kickoff scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday at Albie Loeffler Field.
“It’s now a five-game season, but we can only play it one game at a time,” said Staples head coach Dan Woog. “We’ll give it our best shot.”
The Wreckers have won 11 state championships in their 46-year history. The most recent was 11 years ago in 1993.
