Staples/WSA Day at Meadowlands Big Success

Almost 100 Staples soccer players, young Westport Soccer Association players and their families enjoyed a tailgate party before the MetroStars-Columbus Crew match at Giants Stadium on Saturday. There were prizes for juggling, shooting and relay race contests, plus a special appearance by Crew midfielder Kyle Martino, a 1999 Staples graduate and U.S. men’s national team member.
