The Staples boys soccer team ran its record to 9-1-1 with a 4-0 shutout of Fairfield Ludlowe tonight in the rain at the losers’ field.
The win readies the Wreckers for Saturday afternoon’s huge match against unbeaten (as of today) Norwalk. Game time at Albie Loeffler Field is 2 p.m., with a large crowd expected for both teams’ biggest game of the year.
Staples raced off to a 3-0 lead after 24 minutes. Jon Zimmerman alertly followed up Derek Kennedy’s header off the crossbar; Ross McGibney pounced on a rebound of Zimmerman’s shot, and Brendon Cristobal fed Charlie Reiter.
In the second half, coach Dan Woog fielded primarily underclassmen—next year’s varsity starters—and the Westporters added a blast by Robb McDowell, following Matt Lamb’s long pass.
