No Competition For Glen Cove Girls Lacrosse On Senior Day

Glen Cove High School’s girls varsity lacrosse team held its annual senior night on May 9, but in a different form.

Unfortunately, Hempstead (the opposing team), informed Glen Cove that they did not have enough players and needed to forfeit the game, leaving the girls with no opponent for the Senior Game.

Thankfully, the underclassmen stepped up to the plate and decided to be the senior’s opponent so they could play one last game.

Congratulations to graduating seniors:

• Emily De La Fuente (SUNY Cortland)
• Kiara Demosthene (Iona College)
• Steffany Figueroa (Undecided)
• Tristyn Hudson (University of Cumberlands)
• Taylor LaCapria (Sacred Heart University)
• Yenifer Molina (Nassau Community College)
• Nicole Ninesling (Quinnipiac University)
• Lindsey Payton (University of Rhode Island)
• Cristela Pereira (Nassau Community College)
• Katherine Willson (University of West Virginia)
• Alyssa Zangari (Molloy College)

This year, the girls lacrosse team will graduate one of their biggest classes —11 seniors. They all did a wonderful job this season leading the team, serving as great role models for their younger teammates and will be greatly missed. The entire team fought hard all season in a very competitive Conference V placement.

Some of the highlights include the Glen Cove vs. Wheatley Conference V league game. Glen Cove pulled out the win with a score of 13-12. In addition, the girls pulled out two other close games with a 9-7 win over Freeport and a 9-8 win over Malverne/East Rockaway.

A special congratulations to the team’s 2017 county award winners:

• Tristyn Hudson (Unsung Hero)
• Katherine Willson (All-Conference)
• Alyssa Zangari (Senior Scholar Athlete)
