Tristan Schaefer picked a great time for his coming-out party.
The Staples (Conn.) midfielder, who helped the Wreckers win their second straight Connecticut Class L state title this spring, put on a show at CrabFeast. Schaefer pocketed five goals to help Eclipse roll to a championship with a 13-3 win over Long Island Express in the final. Adam Udell (Staples, Conn.) also had a big role in guiding the offense.
The New Canaan (Conn.) lefty tandem of Bryce Lyden and Brayden Robie led an absolutely feral defense in front of five-star goalie Josh Marcus (Staples, Conn.) as Eclipse built up a big lead.
