South Fork Boys Lose To William Floyd

The South Fork boys lacrosse team used back-to-back penalties, which cost William Floyd its starting and backup goalkeepers Saturday, to pull within one goal, and tied the game when both teams were at full strength, but it was as close as the Islanders would come in a 16-9 loss to the Colonials Saturday, April 27, at Sachem North High School. The game was part of Sachem’s Lax For Autism series.

Floyd jumped to a quick 3-0 lead early in the first quarter, but two straight unsportsmanlike calls cost the Colonials their goalkeepers, which resulted in easy goal seconds into the two-man down situation. Logan Gurney fired a shot from the right side of the goal 20 yards out and scored to make it a one-goal game with 55.1 seconds left in the first, and four minutes into the second, Jackson Marcincuk scored on an empty-netter, despite the teams being back at full strength to tie the game. Floyd scored three straight once more before Gurney broke the streak. The Colonials ended up ahead 8-4 by halftime.

South Fork (2-10 overall, 2-8 in Division I) will host Patchogue-Medford (5-8, 4-7) Wednesday, May 1, at 5:15 PM before traveling to Huntington (6-6, 5-5) Friday, May 3, for a 4:30 PM matchup.

Kings Park Beat Hurricanes

Tyler Nolan had two goals and two assists, and Jaden Alfano St. John, Peter Traina, and Jack Gilbride each added a goal, but peppering the scoreboard across all four quarters didn’t do it, as Westhampton dropped a 9-5 contest to Kings Park April 27. The Hurricanes were firing throughout the game, though. They just couldn’t capitalize on opportunities as Kings Park goalkeeper Christian Michaels made a whopping 17 stops.

The Hurricanes (7-5 overall, 6-4 in Division II) ended the first down 4-2, but only got past Michaels once in each of the other three quarters. Westhampton did however hold Kings Park scoreless in the fourth. Andrew Arcuri made six saves in goal.

The Tuckers (7-4 , 6-4 in Division II) went up 6-4 at the end of the first 25 minutes, and each team scored three in the second to keep the margin the same. The sisters’ cousin Claudia Hoeg made three stops during the victory.

Maddie Schmidt and Francesca Vasile-Cozzo each scored once and added assists, and Kaitlin Tobin tacked on one goal.

Bonackers Girls Bested By Deer Park

In fact, Deer Park didn’t have to make a single stop. Jordan Minerva and Alexa Skoubas beat out Perello as the top scorer, with seven and six goals respectively in their team’s win.

After a long break in action, East Hampton hosted Elwood-John Glenn April 30, but results were not available by press time. The Bonackers will travel to East Islip (3-8, 3-6) May 2 for a 4:30 PM matchup.
