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.
