Ridgefield broke open a tight game with two goals midway through the second half tonight. The unbeaten Tigers then added three more as the Staples boys soccer team pushed forward, downing the Wreckers 5-0.
Staples, now 6-3-2, remains in the hunt for an FCIAC berth, with four games remaining. The Wreckers return to action Saturday, for a 10 a.m. must-win contest in Norwalk against the Bears.
“For 60 minutes, it was a nail-biting game,” said head coach Dan Woog. “We had our chances; our defense was excellent, and Ridgefield counterattacked well. Then they hammered us.
“But I’m betting our guys will bounce back just as generations of Staples teams have done.”
