5/6TH GRADE GIRLS
Head Coach: Nora Nolan Last Game: Northport 8 – Jericho 5
The 5th/6th grade team came out strong in their final home game of the season against Hicksville this past Sunday. Goalkeeper Shannon Citrin blocked 19 shots, allowing 6 goals and made many successful clears. Defensive players Mara Nolan, Abigail Melillo and Katherine Meyer protected the fan well, but when two of the players were injured, it created an opportunity for Hicksville to score. Ryan Dowling and Emerson Cabrera substituted in at defense and did a great job holding Hicksville off, allowing Northport to come out with the win.Northport’s Samantha Hinke played Defensive Wing, where she showed off her defensive talents and speed – turning the ball over and getting it up the field quickly to the offense. Midfield players Deirdre Enright, Stephanie Tsangaris, Ciara Lavin, Nicole Orella, and Katy Dittrich moved the ball well to their teammates on attack — Colleen McNelis, Julia Louis, Grace Contino, Nina MacAgnone and Lauren Trebour — to capitalize their efforts on Hicksville.
Game balls were awarded to players with exemplary performance in the game. Game Ball #1 went to Colleen McNelis for her constant effort on attack and defense throughout the season, making tremendous strides in her level of play. Game Ball #2 went to Katy Dittrich – playing offense and defense well on the midfield line, Katy has made many positive contributions to the team. Game Ball #3 went to Ciara Lavin – always ready to be in the game, Ciara works hard at midfield and attack and is an asset to the team. Game Ball #4 went to Grace Contino – working hard on attack all season, Grace has shown tremendous strides in her skills in lacrosse.

The entire midfield unit played excellent with Will Voss and Thomas Panarello scoring key goals and scooping up ground balls. Preston Engelis and Peter Garbarino did well in the face off circle as well. Connor Craig put in a strong effort in both the offensive and defensive zones. The defensive unit of Patton Derosa and Will Armstrong were ably assisted by Sean Truehart and Mark Kennedy. Both goalies, Jack Ryan and Connor Stahl, played well, with Connor making some tremendous clearing passes to the midfielders.
