The Staples boys soccer team started slowly at Greenwich today. Midway through the first half, the Cardinals were up 2-0.
But the Wreckers surged back. A goal by Alex Tonsberg halved the deficit Just 50 seconds before halftime, Steve Smith bent in a direct kick, drawing his side even.
Fifteen minutes later, Dylan Hoy slammed in a rebound of his own shot. Staples’ dramatic 3-2 victory raises their record to 7-0-2.
“It’s great to know we can come back from a 2-0 deficit to win,” said head coach Dan Woog. “That’s an important lesson for our guys. On the other hand, I’d rather not see us have to do it.”
On Thursday, the Wreckers travel to Darien for a key FCIAC match. Game time is 4 p.m.
