DARIEN — It was a loud statement that ultimately should benefit both teams down the road.
The Darien boys volleyball team knocked Staples from the unbeaten ranks Wednesday by posting a 25-22, 25-23, 25-20 sweep before a thrilled partisan crowd.
The loss ended Staples’ quest for back-to-back unbeaten seasons. The Wreckers were 26-0 last year and 11-0 before Wednesday’s defeat.
