Syosset Girls Basketball Team To Play In Quarterfinals

SYOSSET, NY — The Syosset girls basketball team will play Port Washington in a tough playoff game this week. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at Syosset High School.

The Vikings will have their work cut out for them, as they take on an unbeaten and hungry Braves team (18-0) that fell to Baldwin in the Nassau Class AA championship game last year.

Syosset has not played Port Washington this season, but the team looked sharp throughout the season, winning by double-digits 15 times. The team's closest game came in late Decemeber: a four-point win over Longwood. The last time the team won by fewer than 10 points: an eight-point win over St. John's Prep on Jan. 20.

The Vikings, meanwhile, started the 2019-20 season scorching hot, ripping off five wins over their first six games. The team seemingly lost that momentum, but finished the year with a respectable overall record of 10-9, including 4-6 in Conference AA2.

Perhaps most importantly, the Vikings won two of their last three games.
