The first-place winning photo by Steven Zaitz at the Press Club of Long Island Awards.

By TBR staff

TBR News Media won its first two Press Club of Long Island awards in the history of the organization on June 5, as photographer and sportswriter Steven Zaitz won both first and second place for Best Sports Photography.

Competing with Long Island multimedia behemoth and 10th largest paper in the U.S., Newsday, Zaitz’s two photos, named “Laxing Gravity” and “Loose Ball Blues”, took gold and silver in the category. A winner of 15 New York Press Association awards, 13 for photography and two for Sportswriter of the Year since 2020, Zaitz was ecstatic to have been able to not only win against the stiff competition, but win twice.

“I was shocked because Newsday has so many talented photographers and their high school sports coverage is so good and voluminous,” Zaitz said. “Plus, there are so many quality papers and photographers in addition to Newsday that win consistently at NYPA, so I’m honored to have won both of these prizes. I am also thrilled for our organization and hope that this is just the first two of many for TBR News Media.”

The contest was judged by the San Diego Society of Professional Journalists and took place at The Fox Hollow country club in Woodbury. Many recognizable Long Island media stars were on hand, as Antoinette Biordi and Shari Einhorn, both of News12 Long Island, hosted and took turns calling out the winners. National baseball writer and Newsday-based David Lennon won first place for Best Sport Feature about a Hofstra alumna and professional baseball umpire Jen Pawol, and Newsday TV reporter Virginia Huie won nine awards in total, including top prize for the prestigious Video Reporter of the Year award.

John Hildebrand, senior education writer for Newsday; Ellen Mitchell, a reporter for WCBS Newsradio; and Timothy Bolger, the editor-in-chief of both the Long Island Press and Dan’s Papers, were inducted into the Long Island Journalism Hall of Fame during this year’s ceremony.

Held since 1982, the PCLI awards ceremony has recognized excellence in Long Island journalism for over 40 years and they hand out several scholarships to high school content creators. The Stony Brook Statesman won gold for Best College Newspaper and The Stony Brook Press won top prize for Best Magazine — an award that is open to all Long Island publications, professional as well as student-run entities. Overall, Stony Brook University won 17 PCLI awards.

Zaitz’s top two photos ran on the front page of The Times of Huntington on April 18, 2024, and Feb. 8, 2024 respectively. Laxing Gravity depicts Northport High School boys lacrosse player Logan Cash lifted out of the air and sandwiched belligerently by two opposing Ward Melville High School players. Loose Ball Blues was taken at the Commack High School gym during the fourth quarter of an intense boys basketball game. Evan Kay of Commack, currently a pitcher on the Stony Brook University baseball team, and Northport’s Brendan Fenlon, who starred for the Tigers hoops and volleyball teams, are at each other’s throats to corral a loose ball. The judges commented only on Zaitz’s first-place winner:

“In an extremely competitive category, the winner had it all: artful composition, color, and focus, resulting in a photo that captured the movement and physical, as well as sporting and visual impact of the moment.”

Zaitz’s approach has stayed consistent over his career, always searching for angles that offer a fresh perspective.

“My process during a game shoot is to look for a vantage point that is not often seen,” said Zaitz, who has been a freelancer for TBR for five years. “I make educated guesses on where I think the highest drama is likely to take place and I am constantly moving around, searching for the best light, or background, or emotion.”

TBR News Media Publisher and Editor in Chief Leah S. Dunaief is proud that the paper now has Long Island recognition to go along with its long history of success at the New York State level.

“Steven Zaitz makes us proud to feature his photography, both for its action and professionalism,” Dunaief said. “He not only captures the right moment but also the human striving that makes his pictures glow.”

The Miller Place Panthers softball team made it look easy with a 3-0 shutout win over Nassau champion Mineola at Farmingdale State College to capture their second consecutive Long Island Class A championship on June 5.

Whether it was Breya Kesler’s two-out double to drive in two runs in the top of the third or Sadie Bryant’s RBI in the top of the sixth, the Panthers executed both on the field and behind the plate to hold Mineola scoreless. Pitching ace Ave Zicchinelli allowed just one hit. 

Zicchinelli, a senior, fanned eight batters to propel the Panthers for the second year in a row to the New York State regional final against Marlboro Central (section IX), on Sunday June 8 at the Martha Ave sports complex in Bellport. The win advanced the Panthers to the semi-final round on Tuesday where they made short work of Bayport-Blue Point with a 7-1 victory behind another stellar performance from Zicchinelli, who pitched a no hitter and fanned 13 batters.

The win propels the Panthers to the Suffolk Class A championship game on June 14 where they will face either Kings Park or a Bayport-Blue Point. First pitch is slated for 10:00 a.m.

The Smithtown West girls lacrosse team won its first Suffolk County Class B championship in program history on May 31, beating Harborfields 12-9.

In  the entire slate of final games hosted  at home by Smithtown West High School, senior Kate Theofield scored five goals to lead the top-seeded Bulls, who burst out to 4-0 lead within the first seven minutes of the game.  Theofield had the first three of these and sophomore attacker Kaitlyn Mennella added another. 

Despite the early hole, the third-seeded Tornados did not let this one spin out of control.

Freshman midfielder Nora Ruddy took advantage of a free position opportunity and got Harborfields on the board with four minutes left in the opening quarter. 

Two Harborfields goals apiece by freshman Jamie Medico and senior Bella Monteleone made the score 6-5 in favor of West with a little more than four minutes remaining in the half.  At the break, Harborfields had made this title game a competitive one.

With Smithtown West leading 7-6 midway through the third quarter, Harborfields Goalkeeper Olivia Eusanio robbed Vanessa Pollina from directly in front of the goal mouth and  again on a free position shot, keeping the Tornado deficit at a skinny goal and giving the team in green from Greenlawn possession of the ball. 

But after some sloppy play, West goalkeeper Maribella Marciano picked up a ground ball behind her net and started a breakout. Kaitlyn Mennella’s sister, junior Ashley Mennella, finished it with her second goal of the game. Kaitlyn would score less than a minute later to make it 9-6 with 4:05 remaining in the third period. But Smithtown West, especially  Theofield, was not done.

She scored two goals to close out the quarter, one via free position and the other off a nifty diagonal pass from Ashely Mennella. The pair of third period tallies were Theofield’s fourth and fifth of the game, made the score 11-6, and effectively sealed the game – and the Suffolk crown – for the Bulls. After her fifth goal, she leaped high in the air behind the net and let out a joyful, primal scream, stoked that she put her team up by five.

Smithtown West (16-2), after losing in this Suffolk title game the previous in 2023 and 2024, finally knocked down the county’s championship door. They played Garden City (17-2), Nassau’s Class B champion on Tuesday, June 3 for the Long Island Championship at Adelphi University, which just so happens to be in Garden City.

Ruddy and Medico scored three goals apiece for Harborfields, who failed to make the playoffs in 2024, before reaching the finals. They finish the year at 11-7.

The hunt for a title is over. Huntington Union Free School District senior Jenna Italiano capped off a thrilling 8-7 sudden-death overtime win for the girls lacrosse team, defeating the defending champion Ward Melville High School Patriots. The win on May 31 gave the Lady Blue Devils their first Suffolk County crown in 30 years.

In a back-and-forth game under extremely windy conditions, Ward Melville raced out to a 3-1 lead when they scored a trio of goals in a 92-second span in the middle of the first quarter. But Huntington senior midfielder, and Italiano’s teammate on the Blue Devils basketball team, Sabrina Boyle beat the shot clock for a goal to close out the quarter and tighten the score at 3-2. Boyle cut from the far-right sideline across the field, ducked and spun away from multiple Patriots defenders and put the ball past Ward Melville freshman goalkeeper Sydney Millett as Boyle was being knocked to the ground.

The next three quarters would be a similar trade of haymakers.

Attacker Grace Gordon and Boyle would score early in the second quarter to flip the lead back to Huntington 4-3. This pair of markers for the Blue Devils represented the third lead change of the game. 

There would be more lead changes to come. 

Patriots defender Nori Korzenko created a turnover and flung a pass to midfielder Mia Modica racing through the center. On the dead run, Modica threw it to senior field hockey and lacrosse star Olivia Zummo at the right goal post. Zummo centered a pass across the circle to Nicole Manolakes. Manolakes, only in the eighth grade, whipped it past Huntington goalkeeper Juliet Johnson to tie the score at 5 with 5:18 left in the third quarter.

Patriots attacker Keira Pirozzi was checked in the head with 3:41 left in the period and scored the second free-position goal of the game to give Ward Melville a 6-5 lead. It would stay that way until 6:20 remained in the game when junior Gordon tied it at 6 for Huntington after she was fouled.

Aliya Leonard did the same for Ward Melville with 1:43 remaining, tying the game at 7 with a free-position goal. It was Leonard’s third goal of the game and it would be the last goal of regulation for either side.

Boyle, who injured her leg and briefly left the game in the first half, was quiet for a long stretch of the game thereafter. Ward Melville employed the defensive tactic known as the face guard on her, which puts a defender never more than a few inches away, stick waving in her face. 

This did not prevent Boyle from creating defense of her own — defense that would lead to the final scoring attack of the game.

After a timeout in the overtime session, Boyle intercepted a long, diagonal and ill-advised pass by Ward Melville defender Quinlan Heilbron and was then fouled by Pirozzi along the left sideline.

Pirozzi was sent off because she whacked Boyle around the head area, and when play resumed, Boyle lofted a cross-field pass to senior Devon St. John, who raced to her right about 20 yards away from the net. St. John spotted Italiano curling in front and snapped a perfect pass to her. Italiano caught the ball and, after a few quick dodges to her right, whistled it past Millett for the golden, game-winning, championship-clinching goal and an 8-7 win for Huntington. It was Italiano’s first shot attempt of the afternoon.

The Lady Blue Devils, who last won a county title in 1995, played Massapequa High School on Tuesday, June 3, at Adelphi University in Garden City. Huntington beat Northport High School in overtime on May 29 in the semifinal game, and in beating Ward Melville in the finals, the Blue Devils defeated the last two Suffolk County champions from 2023 and 2024. Massapequa has won the past two Long Island Class A championships.

The Sharks of Eastport-South Manor the No. 5 seed came calling on the Bulls of Smithtown West on May 27 and jumped out with a two-goal lead in the early going.

Ashley Mennella’s stick split the pipes three minutes into the second period to break the ice for the Bulls before Kate Theofield rattled off three unanswered goals before burying a penalty shot to give the Bulls a 5-3 lead at the 5:04 mark of the third quarter.

Mennella found the back of the cage for a second time with ten minutes left in regulation to give the Bulls six goal advantage before the Sharks could answer.

Smithtown West is the No. 1 seed in the division for a reason as they kept the ball running down the ninety second shot clock the rest of the way for the 11-6 victory.

Theofield topped the scoring chart with six goals and two assists and Mennella and Alyssa Lorefice scored two goals each. Goalie Maribella Marciano a junior had a quiet day in net with four saves.

Smithtown West advances to the county finals on Saturday, May 31 and will enjoy homefield advantage when they host Harborfields at 2 p.m.

Number one Cougars use big Q2 for ’W’

By Steven Zaitz

The top-seeded Commack Cougars girls lacrosse team held off Longwood in the Suffolk County Division I Conference quarter finals, 11-8 on May 23.

The Cougars were given all they could handle by the Lady Lions, who despite their rather pedestrian record of 9-7 coming into the playoff tournament, had won six out of their last seven contests. Longwood, led by superstar attacker Ava Franco, held a 3-2 lead over the Cougars late into the first quarter of this game.

But Commack’s freshman Ashley Arizonas scored barely a minute into the second quarter, tying the score and setting the stage for a dominant period for the number-one seed. Senior Emily Parisi scored from a sharp angle and senior Liliana Pettit quickly followed midway through the period to give Commack a two-goal lead. Fellow senior Amelia Brite tacked one on to close the half, and the Lady Cougars would enjoy an 8-5 lead at the break. Pettit and Brite would each score three goals.

As the intermittent rain that fell throughout the game became more intense, Commack led 10-6 midway through the fourth quarter. But Franco, who was seventh in Suffolk County in goals with 51, scored two quick ones, and with about four minutes remaining — an eternity in high school lacrosse — the Lions were within two at 10-8.

That’s as close as they would come.

After a stick-to-the-head penalty by Longwood defender Brooke Morris, Arizonas scored from 10 yards away when Petit gave her a perfect centering feed with Lions goalkeeper Hailey Greene way out of her net, trying to help force a desperation turnover. Arizonas’ goal made the score 11-8 and Commack possessed the ball for the final two minutes for the win. 

Cougar goalie Olivia Bezmalinovic made three saves for the win. Franco scored 5 of the 8 goals for Longwood.

Commack hosts number 5 seed and defending Suffolk County champion Ward Melville on Wednesday May 28 in Commack in the sem-final game.

The Miller Place Panthers softball team lost no one to graduation from last years’ squad and entered post season play with a 18-2 record. The sit atop the Class A bracket as the number one seed.

Five-year varsity pitching ace Ava Zicchinelli did what she’s done for years: keep opposing batters off balance and struggling in the batter’s box. Whether it was Delaney Schleider’s sacrifice fly in the bottom of the third to put the Panthers out front by three or Breya Kesler taking a pitch with bases loaded to walk in a run in the bottom of the fourth or Evelyn Paul’s sacrifice fly to make it a six-run lead, the Panthers kept Islip the number five seed at bay.

Schleider’s bat did the talking with a two-run RBI in the bottom of the fifth inning who followed it with a two-run home run shot over the centerfield fence and Emily Lopez answered the call with a home run of her own to make it a 10-run lead in the bottom of the sixth.

The 2024 New York State semi-final winners were too much for Islip slamming the door with a 10-0 shutout win on May 23.

Zicchinelli allowed one hit, she walked three and struck out 12. 

The win advanced the Panthers to the semi-final round on Tuesday where they made short work of Bayport-Blue Point with a 7-1 victory behind another stellar performance from Zicchinelli who pitched a no hitter and fanned 13 batters. The win propels the Panthers to the Suffolk Class A championship game on May 31 where they will face either Kings Park or a Bayport-Blue Point. First pitch is slated for 10 a.m.

Senior attackman Jack Deliberti scored six times to lead Northport boys lacrosse to victory over Huntington in the Suffolk County Division I semi-finals on May 27. The final score was 17-9.

The Tigers, seeded second in Suffolk, used a big third quarter, outscoring the Blue Devils 5-2 and open up a 12-6 lead going into the fourth quarter. Northport goalkeeper Gavin Stabile made several sparkling saves, especially in the second half, to hold off Huntington who had 22 shots on goal. Stabile made 13 saves.

Northport attackman Gavin O’Brien had three goals and four assists and Greyson Cabrera and Logan Cash each had six total points for Northport. Tommy Kline and Jack Kamenstein had two goals apiece for third-seeded Huntington, as Blue Devils goalie Will Fallon made nine saves.

Northport will now get an opportunity to avenge last year’s heartbreaking 9-8 loss to Half Hollow Hill in the Suffolk County final. Hills’ record is a perfect 18-0 this year. Northport is 16-2, with their only conference loss coming at the hands of Hills, 16-14, back on April 30. Huntington ends their year at 14-4.

Hills is led by Anthony Raio, who broke the all-time individual goal-scoring record on Tuesday in a 20-9 victory vs. Smithtown East in the other semi-final game. Raio, a senior, scored six times and now has 271 goals in his career, breaking the record held by Matt Triolo, who is currently a senior at John Glenn High School in the Elwood School District.

The championship game will be played this Saturday, May 31 at East Islip Middle School.

The boy’s lacrosse post season kicked off on May 19 at Ward Melville high school where the Patriots (No. 8) hosted Wm Floyd (No. 9) in a division I matchup where the winner would be decided in the final 3 seconds of the game. 

It was Ward Melville senior Bohdan McLaughlin’s goal with four minutes left in the third quarter that re-tied the game a 4-4. The Patriots rattled off four unanswered goals and looked to break the game wide open with 6 minutes left in regulation. William Floyd had other ideas as the slowly chipped away at the deficit to retie the game 8-8 with 1:25 left.

As the clock marched down to the threat of overtime play, it was Andrew Buscaglia’s stick that decided the game. His shot found its mark for the game winner as time expired, for a Patriot 9-8 victory in the Suffolk class A opener. It was Buscaglia’s fourth goal in the game, courtesy of an assist from McLaughlin, for the win. 

Sophomore goalie Jason Biondi had ten saves in net.

In victory the Patriots advanced to face the (No. 1) seed Half Hollow Hills in a road game on May 22.

The Rocky Point boy’s lacrosse team struggled from the opening face off in a road game against Mattituck on May 16 where the Tuckers peppered the scoreboard with eight unanswered goals before the Eagles could answer.

It was Rocky Point attackman Trevor Barrett’s shot on goal the broke the ice for Eagles scoring with five minutes left in the opening half.

Robert Walker’s shot on goal found its mark late in the third quarter but that was all the Eagles could muster in the 10-2 loss in the division II matchup, to conclude their 2025 campaign.

Rocky Point goalie Brogan Casper had his hands full in net with twenty saves on the day.
