Greenwich started strong in Wednesday's Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference quarterfinal but failed to create anything of value. Staple's Sami DeWitt opened the scoring with a powerful header from an Annabel Edwards corner kick. Staples ended the half leading 1-0.

With the momentum on their side, the Wreckers began early in the second half when Nataly Chudowsky delivered a corner and Sami DeWitt towered above the defenders to score her second header of the game. Staples remained on top and made it 3-0 with a defense splitting pass from Natalie Chudowsky to put Annabel Edwards through on goal. She took the shot early to chip the GK from 25 yards out. 

Ali Penella added a late consolation goal for Greenwich to make the score 3-1. 

Staples, ranked third in the tournament will no doubt be charged up as they face long time rival, top ranked St. Joe's of Trumbull today at 7:00 PM at Wilton High School. They will be looking to avenge their recent regular season loss to that team.
