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.

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.

BOYS SOCCER: Stamford rallies for win over Darien

October 20, 2018September 26, 2018 by Scott Ericson, Stamford Advocate

STAMFORD—The Stamford boys soccer team was treading water, down two goals at halftime to Darien.

The life preserver came from an usual place as Stamford took advantage of two miscues by the Darien keeper and defense in the second half, rallying for three goals in the final 40 minutes and a surprising 4-3 win.

Kenly Lalanne scored all four Stamford goals, tallying three in the second half.

“I think this was pretty good. That has been our M.O. from the start of the year, playing much better in the second half,” Stamford coach Mario Caminiti said. “Today, we did not start out mentally ready. Our pregame warmup had me very concerned because we were not really focused. We talked about it at halftime and I told them I was depending on their leadership to fix it and they did it.”
