The Patriots pressured the Bay Shore defenders constantly with a 4-0 shutout over their visitors in the Division I contest.
Ward Melville junior Hadley Torre found the back of the net twice, senior forward Peyton Phillips scored along with two assists and senior midfielder Jadyn Stoecker rocked the box.
Bay Shore goalie Morgan Cousins had a busy day guarding the box with 18 saves, while Ward Melville’s keeper Olivia Zummo stopped two.
The win lifts the Patriots to the top of the Division I leaderboard.
