Northport girls lacrosse

By Steven Zaitz

On a sunny but cold afternoon, both Northport’s girls and boys lacrosse programs hosted scrimmages on March 18.

The girls took on Cold Spring Harbor in a scrimmage on the Northport High School football field and the boys tangled with the West Islip Lions in twin tune-ups for the regular season.

The Lady Tigers will play their first regular season game against Huntington at home on March 25 and the boys team, after facing nonleague Port Washington, will travel to William Floyd to kick off their regular season on March 26.

Both Northport lacrosse teams were Suffolk County champions in 2023 and they look forward to similar success in 2024.

The Northport girls lacrosse team found themselves in a second overtime period with Massapequa June 5 at Stony Brook University.  With one minute and 23 seconds left, Northport secured the win, 11-10.

It was the teams third consecutive Class A Long Island Championship win.

Head coach Carol Rose said, “This win means so much to our team as our goal was to ‘Get on the Bus’ to states. They are an amazing group of young ladies who have persevered all season as a top ranked team in the country. They are resilient warriors who are battle tested and ready for the next challenge.”

The Tigers will now travel to SUNY Cortland for the New York State Championship.

Updated June 9 to reflect correct score of 11-10.
