Eastport-South Manor made program history on Tuesday, advancing to the county final for the first time with an 8-7 win over Sayville in a Suffolk Class B semifinal.
Allison Gionta’s goal with a little under eight minutes remaining gave ESM an 8-3 lead over No. 3 Sayville. The Golden Flashes rallied late and Kimmy Marra’s score with 1:14 left pulled them within a goal. A Sayville foul on the...

The stage is set once again… Sacred Heart vs. St. Anthony’s in the CHSAA Class AA championship game.
That will be because this was: The Spartans defeated Kellenberg, 18-8, in a semifinal at Cantiague Park in Hicksville on Friday. (If I ever go with a lead this bland in an article, you have my permission to slap me.)
Led by Maeve Quinn’s career-high six goals, second-seeded Sacred Heart...

Leftovers: Shoreham-Wading River Edition

It’s the return of “Leftovers.” Yesterday’s article on Shoreham-Wading River’s 13-11 win over Sacred Heart was shorter than usual – that was because we covered a bunch of games and the space in the section was limited. So, a bunch of quotes and details were left out or abridged to make it fit. And if you know me, you know I hate interviewing people and not putting it out somewhere. We can’t let...

Nassau Girls Lacrosse Top 10 (as of May 13)

1. Farmingdale (14-1) The Dalers dropped their first game of the season to Manhasset, 12-6, on Monday. Perhaps fatigue was a factor, as it was their fourth game in six days and the six goals were about a third of Farmingdale's season average. Nevertheless, the win was more a credit to Manhasset than an indictment of the Dalers, so they'll continue to hold the top spot. Farmingdale also rebound with...
