The Staples boys soccer team finished its regular season in strong fashion toda, shutting out Darien 2-0 at Albie Loeffler Field.
The win gives the Wreckers a sparkling 12-1-2 record. Next up: The FCIAC tournament.
If Staples is seeded first or second, they will receive a bye into Tuesday’s semifinal. If the Wreckers are third or fourth, they will play at home on Saturday in the first round of the playoffs.
Final seedings are contingent upon other games played today (results not yet available).
The Westporters scored twice in the first half against Darien. Chris Meinke finished off Charlie Reiter’s corner kick. Meinke then flicked on Jon Zimmerman’s long throw, which Brian Kennedy headed home.
“We accomplished one of our goals,” said head coach Dan Woog. “We wanted to get into the FCIAC playoffs.
“Now we’re turning our attention to our next two goals: winning the FCIACs, and the state tournament. It’s a good position to be in—and the best is yet to come.”
