Disappointing Night For Staples Girls Soccer
The Wreckers girls fought hard against the number one seed, St. Joe's of Trumbull however Staples fell at the final hurdle in a great game and in the end the FCIAC Championship trophy was not to be theirs. Staples only goal came when Natalie Chudowsky fed sister Evelyn early in the second period. At game's end the girls proudly held up their FCIAC trophies forrunner-up and Western championship.

The staples girls have everything but it wasn’t to be their night. The girls are amazing to work with, they give their all everyday and it showed in the performance last night. I’m hurting for them that they lost in the game but I’m more than proud of how they played and how they conducted themselves all season. On to states now."

Staples Field Hockey Falls In FCIAC Championship Game
Staples field hockey team at the playing of our National Anthem at Brien McMahon on Thursday night.
Number 3 seed Staples Wreckers faced the top seed, perennial powerhouse Darien at Brien McMahon last night and although they fought hard the entire game the Blue Wave came out on top. Coach Ian Tapsall proudly described his teams efforts this way, [it was a] “Tough loss to an extremely talented and physical Darien team. Our young team has overachieved in reaching this stage. Early goal put us on back foot and didn’t realize our full potential until the third quarter when we put some consistent pressure on their goal. Darien’s win was well deserved and in spite of the loss we are extremely pleased with the effort shown on the pitch”
