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”

David Zenreich, 36, Died; Staples Wrestler “whose warmth, charisma, and generosity were limitless.”
David Zenreich died tragically in an accident on September 8, 2022. He was 36. David was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, whose warmth, charisma, and generosity were limitless.
David grew up in Westport, Connecticut and was known by those close to him for his humor, creativity, brilliant writing, and storytelling. From a young age, David was a voracious reader and a master of words, which was the foundation upon which he built a successful career in digital marketing. An entrepreneur at his core, David launched his first business while still an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis. In 2008, he graduated from the Olin Business School, which helped springboard what would become a portfolio of businesses he developed and launched over the next 15 years. David became a leader in his field, and was frequently invited to speak at industry conferences, sought after by other marketing professionals for consultation, and asked to mentor younger, aspiring entrepreneurs and friends.
While cut far too short, David lived a rich and substantial life. He was an avid and accomplished high school wrestler at Staples High School, which is where he first fostered a deep interest in bodybuilding and combat sports that he would carry on throughout his life. David was also a passionate traveler who visited dozens of countries and spent time living across parts of Asia, Europe, and South America. Although he lived in Miami towards the end of his life, New York City was always David's home-which was fitting, given his love for comedy, art, and fashion.
He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and fraternity brothers. David is survived by his parents, Michael Zenreich and Carole Roller; his sister, Sara Weiss; his brother-in-law, Eric Weiss; and his niece and nephew, Hannah and Jesse Weiss.
