It was a shortened week for the local student-athletes with spring break underway, but the Panthers had four varsity matchups to highlight during the week.

Goalkeeper Matt Liantonio faced constant pressure from Huntington and allowed 11 goals while still making 16 saves. Steven Jackolski scored twice for the Panthers and Jack Martocello added one but that was all the offense the Panthers could muster in the loss.
