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.
Consistently applying pressure, the Cardinals generated a pair of penalty kicks in the first half against their nemisis — and they capitalized on both.
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.
