A pair of North Fork goalkeepers — Southold senior Travis Sepenoski and Mattituck junior goalkeeper Cris Cuellar — were named to the All-Suffolk County team at the Suffolk County Soccer Coaches Association awards banquet at Villa Lombardi in Holbrook on Monday night.

Southold also placed three players on the League IV All-Conference team — junior midfielders Brandon Moran and Brendan Boyle in addition to Sepenoski. Three Settlers juniors were selected to the All-League IV squad — defenders CJ Baily and Moran, and forward Jostin Cajas.

Mattituck senior midfielder Anthony Soto and Cuellar were chosen to the All-Conference side, while junior Franklyn Secaida, a midfielder, and Dylan Palencia, a defender, were named All-League. Greenport junior midfielder Juan Vivas Flores was selected to the All-League team, while junior teams Matthew Malinowski, a midfielder, and Jesus Rios, a goalkeeper-forward, were on the All-League squad.

Greenport junior defender Luis Morales, Mattituck junior midfielder Charlie Carter and Southold senior defender Nate Steinfeld were named to the Academic All-County team.

Former Mattituck athletic director and soccer coach Mike Huey also received an award for his 26 years as the county boys soccer coordinator. Huey, who stepped down last year, was presented with the Ted Woods Memorial New York State Public High School Athletic Association Boys Soccer Service Award for his 41 years of service to the state last month.
