Photos: Mattituck soccer’s championship season

Few sports are as photogenic as soccer. Its quick pace, dramatic goals, athletic saves and crashing headers make the sport come to life in a photograph.

Suffolk Times contributing photographer Garret Meade spent much of this fall documenting the Mattituck boys soccer team’s championship campaign.

Here are some of his best photos from the season:
