Girls Varsity Lacrosse Scores a Victory

What a first game and it was league; the girls came out a little tentatively against Carey but played well enough for a 5–3 lead at half time. The girls took the second half by storm, 8–2 with the final score being a win 13–5.

The way they settled down and played their way was something to be proud of, with the double-teaming through the midfield and in the defensive end. Alison Abrams, Emily Durso, Lauren Dwyer and Sam DiPaola were key players. Selena Guastella won the majority of the centre draws in the second half allowing the team’s attack to set up and score.

Boys Varsity Lacrosse Ready for 2012

The Big Red Varsity Lacrosse Team is ready to open their 2012 season. Coach Steve Tripp enters his 25th season at the helm of Glen Cove and said, “We have had a lot of success over the past four years, and I feel this group can pick up where last year’s team left off.”

The 2011 season ended in the playoffs, and this year’s team is looking to continue the momentum. For that to happen, the Big Red will rely on their senior class to provide the leadership that all good teams have. Captains Dennis Ramadan and Chris Saperstein are playing their third season on the varsity. Ramadan’s shooting will play a big factor in the 2012 season. Saperstein, the Big Red’s faceoff specialist, is on the sidelines right now, rehabbing off-season knee surgery. GC’s other two captains will play two vital roles for the Big Red. Scott Nicolich is the Big Red’s playmaker and the team’s leading returning scorer. Goalie Nick Manzione proved to be a more than capable goaltender as he garnered Honorable-Mention All-County honors in 2011.
