Sure it's still September, but there has not been a shortage of big time boys soccer match ups in Suffolk County this season.
Just yesterday Ward Melville used an Andrew Zimmerman goal on a pass from Chris DiFiore to beat Smithtown West despite 10 saves from Thomas Kirnbauer.
The Bulls suffered another close loss on Sept. 8, 3-2, to Newfield when Steven Lopes scored the winner off an assist from Kyle Schlesinger with 10:00 left in the game.
The same day Southhold knocked off Center Moriches 2-1 behind two first half goals from Matt Ellis, East Islip upset West Islip 2-0 and Commack played Half Hollow Hills West to a 2-2 tie.
Nationally-ranked Bretwood held off Bay Shore 1-0 on Sept. 7.
That is just a taste. There is plenty more to come.
If you have a big game or big win prior to Sept. 10 you want mentioned feel free to let me know. Make sure to tell me why it was so important.
