Manhasset defeats Eastport-South Manor, 11-7, Final
Long Island Championship Class C
Mount Sinai defeats North Shore, 12-7, Final
Highlights
Farmingdale jumped out to a 4-1 lead and Bay Shore brought the score level at 4-4. When the Dalers scored their fifth with 8:00 remaining, Bay Shore changed goalies in an unexpected move with Judson (spelling) replacing Titlebaum in the pipes. Farmingdale and Bay Shore basically traded goals from there to the half. Overall, the defenses have been pourous in the opening stanza and the goalies have made a couple of solid saves each. Play was extremely physical in the final five minutes of the half with many ball carriers winding up on the turf. In the second half, the action was knotted at nine when the Dales went on a three goal sprint opening a 12-9 advantage with 11:40 remaining on the clock. Bay Shore scored to make it 12-10 with 10:00 remaining and 12-11 with 2:30 remaining. Some of the best defense of the game followed to run out the clock. Farmingdale will play Penfield in the NYSPHSAA Semifinal next Friday, June 7th at SUNY/Cortland.
In the Class B final, Manhasset survived a stern challenge from underdog Eastport-South Manor, 11-7, after playing a very tight first half, 4-3.
The late match on the day saw Mount Sinai take a 7-5 lead into half time, but quickly opened the gap to 10-5 early in the second stanza on hat tricks from both of Mount Sinai's sisters, Shayna and Sydney Pirecca. Danielle Della Roca also enjoyed a multiple goal game.
Congratulations Farmingdale, Manhasset and Mt Sinai. Good luck representing Long Island in the state semi-finals.
