"The 6-foot-1 junior is one of many reasons the Sea Kings began the week ranked No. 1 in California and No. 14 in the country, and his skill was on display Tuesday night in the Sea Kings' tense Bay League opener at Mira Costa - a match that featured Tucker Malinofsky's equalizing goal in stoppage time before fellow co-captain LT Armijo netted the winner in double overtime."
"Porth has nine shutouts with 73 saves in 15 starts this winter and did not allow a goal for 340 minutes of action - a scoreless streak lasting four and a half games - before Noah Szeder snapped it on a rebound off a corner kick in the 70th minute Tuesday to give Mira Costa a short-lived 1-0 lead Tuesday. It was only the seventh shot to get behind Porth all season."
""It's a great feeling because they're our rivals and I hadn't beaten them before - none of us had," Porth said while savoring the Sea Kings' first win at Mira Costa since 2017. "Shutouts are up there but as long as we win, I'm happy. Our defense is awesome - LT, Nathan Dorfman, Aiden Cruz and Dayton Chontos - our whole back line.""
Palos Verdes entered the week ranked No. 1 in California and No. 14 nationally while riding a 10-game winning streak and chasing its first CIF championship since 2006-2007. Junior goalkeeper Greyson Porth has recorded nine shutouts and 73 saves in 15 starts and produced a 340-minute scoreless streak. The Sea Kings conceded only seven shots behind Porth all season through the noted match. Palos Verdes defeated rival Mira Costa in a Bay League opener after a stoppage-time equalizer and a double-overtime winner. Co-captain LT Armijo scored the decisive goal and the back line includes Nathan Dorfman, Aiden Cruz and Dayton Chontos.
