With six injured starters standing on the sidelines in street clothes and warmup gear, the Wilton High girls soccer team certainly was the underdog in Wednesday’s Class LL second-round game against St. Joseph in Trumbull.
But despite trailing 1-0 late in the second half, the 11th-seeded Warriors found a way to get the victory and stun sixth-seed St. Joseph, which had moved up to Class LL after winning the last three Class L state titles.
After Ashley Carbonier scored with 10:27 remaining to tie the game and force overtime, Wilton went on to earn a 2-1 win (9-8 on penalty kicks) over the Cadets.
