LONG BEACH — Connor Turnbow-Lindenstadt had four goals for the Sailors, who lost in sudden-death overtime in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 first-round playoff match Wednesday at Belmont Plaza.

Nic Rimlinger had two goals and Gavin Kunkle (two steals), Cole Brosnan, Ryan Brosnan and Jackson Westerman also scored for Newport Harbor (16-11). Senior goalie Joe Ferraro made 17 big saves.

“Joe was amazing,” Newport Harbor Coach Ross Sinclair said in a text message.

Wilson rallied from a 7-4 fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime, and from a 10-8 deficit after the first three-minute overtime period to force sudden death.
