Staples Boys Soccer Ousted in State Tournament

A fast-paced, well-played state tournament soccer game tonight ended in defeat for the Staples boys.  Cheshire –- ranked No, 3 in the LL division –- ousted the Wreckers, at the Rams’ field. Cheshire drew first blood, but Nick DiMasi equalized two minutes later. The hosts got the go-ahead goal with 14 minutes remaining, off a rebound. They added an insurance goal six seconds from time, as the Westporters battled desperately with everyone on offense. Staples ends the season 12-4-4, earning praise from head coach Dan Woog as “a very special, truly passionate and tight-knit, loving group.” Pictured: Nick DiMasi (left) being congratulated after his tying goal by Wilson Daniels, Austin Sholes and Matthew Tanzer.
