FCIAC

WESTPORT — The beat goes on for the Staples girls soccer team.

The Wreckers netted two second-half goals to put away a feisty Greenwich side to improve to 6-0 on the young season en route to a 3-0 FCIAC victory over the Cardinals on Wednesday at Wakeman Field.

“In the first half, Greenwich fought well,” said Staples head coach Barry Beattie, who has led the program to a great deal of success during his tenure in Westport. “In the second half, I thought our quality shone and by the way the two goals were scored it was plain to see.”

GREENWICH — Rivals typically bring out the best in each other and Greenwich was certainly in top form in its showdown against boys soccer foe Staples on Wednesday.

Consistently applying pressure, the Cardinals generated a pair of penalty kicks in the first half against their nemisis — and they capitalized on both.

Scoring on two penalty kicks made the different in this duel, which saw Greenwich post an impressive 2-0 victory at Cardinal Stadium.

With the significant win, the Cardinals improved their record to 4-1-2 overall, giving them 14 points in the FCIAC standings. Staples’ records stands at 4-2-1 (13 points) following the loss.
