The Staples boys soccer team opened its defense of its state and FCIAC championships today with a 2-1 win at Fairfield Warde. Greg Gudis scored the first goal of the Wreckers’ season for the fourth straight year.
Staples had to battle hard, however, as the Mustangs equalized early in the second half.
A Steven Denowitz header, off a long Mikey Scott throw, proved the game-winner nine minutes later.
The Wreckers are in action again Thursday (at Trumbull, 4 p.m.), before opening at home next Monday afternoon against Central High.
