No. 6 seed Walt Whitman High School’s field hockey team had their hands full in the opening round of the playoffs Tuesday, Oct. 29, with a road game against No. 3 Ward Melville when they were blanked by the Patriots 6-0 in the Class A bracket matchup. 

Ward Melville senior forward Peyton Phillips rocked the box with a pair of goals along with an assist and Reese Scali, the sophomore, scored twice. Isabella Parente and Maddie Larsen found the back of the box to round out the scoring for the Patriots.

Walt Whitman concluded their 2024 campaign with an 8-7 record.
