    H.S. roundup: Waterford boys hand Stonington first soccer loss

    Waterford — Robbie Negahban's goal in the second sudden death overtime lifted Waterford to a stunning 2-1 boys' soccer victory over previously unbeaten Stonington on Saturday.

    His first goal, a 30-yard blast on a direct kick, broke a scoreless tie, and his second came on a header off a Jose Guervara-Gomez corner kick in the second overtime.

    Stonington had forced overtime on a goal by Sam Montalto, assisted by Jamison Magowan, with 6:32 left in regulation.

    Waterford goalie A.J. Sachatello made seven saves while Peter Fernholz stopped four shots for the Bears.
