#3 Mount Sinai Lady Mustangs Season Preview
How does a perennial powerhouse rebound from a heartbreaking loss in the 2018 Long Island Championship Game? “One game at a time”. That is how Head Coach, Al Bertolone described the approach for the 2019 Mount Sinai Girls Lacrosse team. After winning three consecutive State Championships, the Mustangs lost to, eventual State Champ, Cold Spring Harbor, last season. With so much playoff success, it is easy to become focused only on results, and you can feel as though you have failed, unless you win the State Championship. While the Mustangs have certainly had their share of victories and Championships, to Coach Bertolone, that is not the only measure of success. He tries to keep his program focused on the “journey”, not necessarily the destination. “Losing last year, was not a bad thing”, sometimes you “need to fail, to move forward”, Bertolone explained. And that is exactly what this year’s team is looking to do. They are “hungry” and very “motivated”, to return to the top of Class C.

#2 Eastport South Manor Lady Sharks Season Preview
The 2019 edition of the Eastport South Manor girls lacrosse team will be determined to make school history by capturing a State Championship. Even though last year’s squad won the Suffolk County class B Championship, a strong returning cast feels like they have something to prove. They have gotten close to the ultimate prize and are now laser focused on winning their final game this year. In order to reach such a lofty goal, Coach Thorne will turn to a highly accomplished trio of returning seniors to provide the leadership the Sharks will need if they are to develop the mental toughness and confidence that all great teams must have. Catherine Flaherty, who will be a Maryland Terrapin next year, will lead the defense, while two way Midfielders, Jaime Biskup (UVA) and Kasey Choma (Notre Dame, and U19 USA hopeful), should anchor the team at both ends of the field. On Attack, the Sharks expect good things from Jess Morrisroe and Celeste Forte, who both step into bigger roles this season.

#1 Northport Lady Tigers Season Preview
The 2019 Northport Tigers have “unfinished business.” After losing in the Suffolk Class A Championship a season ago, the Tigers felt they left a lot on the field that day. Although a disappointing finish to what was a very successful 2018 season, the new and improved Northport girls lacrosse team is, above all things, left feeling hungry to regain dominance in Suffolk Class A.
