Boys' Soccer Misses States

-By Ian Sullivan-

Blue Wave Boys' Varsity Soccer couldn’t sting the undefeated Trumbull Hornets on Monday. (10/26) The boys lost 2-1 against the soccer powerhouse. It was senior day and a must need win for the Blue Wave. This defeat means the boys will not go to the state playoffs. The 3-8-3 record was not good enough to send them to the championship tournament.
Two well-placed goals by Trumbull’s ace that just went by the hands of senior goalie Robbie Schindler, gave Trumbull an early lead. However, in the second half the “Blue Wave came storming back,” junior Rupert Hansford said. Early in the first half, the Blue Wave struck back with a corner kick from junior Rupert Hansford, to junior J.P. Walsh to decrease the deficit to 2-1. Schindler was then replaced by senior Andrew Del Col, who according to Hansford, “kept the Blue Wave in the game.” The Wave hopes to rebound against Stamford at 4pm at the Black Nights home field on Wednesday. (10/28) A win won’t move them to States, but it will leave them with a victory for the last game of the season. (pictured Boys' Blue Wave Varsity Soccer team)
