Newfield boys soccer loses winning streak in double overtime against Connetquot
By Bill Landon
The Newfield boys soccer squad, having won their last three games picking off North Babylon, Bay Shore and Lindenhurst, looked to make it four in a row in a nonleague matchup with Connetquot at home Monday afternoon, Sept. 23.
After a scoreless first half, Connetquot struck first midway through the second half to break the ice but the Wolverines co-captain Eli Rubio’s shot found the back of the net two minutes later to make it a new game. With both teams deadlocked at 1-1, time expired in regulation forcing the first of two overtime periods.
After an unproductive first overtime period, it was a Connetquot goal that snatched the victory, 2-1, from the Wolverines.
Newfield will look to get back to their winning ways with a road game against Commack on Friday, Sept. 27. Game time is slated for 4:30 p.m.
