In a fast, physical matchup, Stamford’s Westhill High School rallied from a 1-0 deficit today to hand Westport’s Staples High School its first loss of the boys soccer season.
The 2-1 loss drops the Wreckers to 7-1-1. They start a seven-game home stand Tuesday (4 p.m.), against Ridgefield.
Greg Bachman blasted in a rebound to give the visitors a 16th-minute lead, but the Vikings equalized four minutes before intermission. They got the game-winner midway through the second half, on a header off a corner kick.
“We needed a game like this. We needed to be tested,” said head coach Dan Woog.
“These are the kinds of teams we have to beat if we want to achieve our goals of FCIAC and state championships. We didn’t solve every problem today, but we learned a lot. We look forward to seeing Westhill at least once more down the road.”
