After a slow start, the Staples boys soccer team came alive in the second half today, shutting out Darient 3-0 at Darien.
The final goal was scored with one second remaining.
Staples, now 4-1, hosts 5-0 Trumbull on Tuesday in a key matchup (4 p.m., Loeffler Field behind Staples). The two teams tied twice last year, the second time for the FCIAC championship.
Jake Blauvelt fed Mike White for the first goal in Darien. Russell Oost-Lievense followed with a blast from 40 yards that skimmed in off the inside of the left post. Liam Bohonnon took a pass from Frankie Bergonzi to round out the scoring, at the 79:59 mark.
“There are many ways to win a soccer match,” said head coach Dan Woog. “This wasn’t the prettiest game, but we figured out what we had to do and we did it.”
