The Staples boys soccer team rode three first-half goals—including two in a 42-second span—to a 5-1 victory today at Wilton’s Kristine Lilly Field.
The win lifts the league-leading Wreckers to 7-0-1. They travel to second-place Westhill Friday afternoon (4:15 p.m.) for their toughest test yet.
Brendon Cristobal scored two goals, while Preston Hirten, Russell Oost-Lievense and Matt Lamb added one each. Assists came from Keaton Cristobal (2), Lamb, Hirten and Brendon Cristobal.
“It’s always nice to get a good result at Wilton,” said head coach Dan Woog. “They’re extremely well coached, and they always play us hard.”
Woog said the turf field helped his team, which relies on speed, ball control and quick passing.
