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”
