Said Head Coach Colin Devine, "Last night was a key FCIAC win for us against a tough, athletic, well-coached Greenwich team. We came out a bit slow, but I am really proud of how the boys responded. We battled back to go up by two at the half, and that’s when we made some adjustments on both sides of the ball. We came out aggressive in the 3rd scoring 23 points, and never looked back. That was a team win led by Senior Captain Ryan Phelps with 30 points—he is blossoming into a key player for us after missing last year with an ankle injury. Great win, but have to turn the page and prepare for a very talented Danbury team on Monday." The Wreckers face the Danbury Hatters who are 4-2 overall, at home on Monday.
