The Huntington boys’ soccer team topped Eastport-South Manor in overtime, 2-1 when Anthony Catarino scored off a free kick by Petros Kalodukas two minutes into the extra frame off. It was Catarino’s second goal of the game. He tied the score at 1-1 with about ten minutes remaining in regulation on a shot off an assist by Christian Caballero. E.J. Connell made five magnificent saves in goal for the Blue Devils, who turned up their defense by several notches.
