Long Island Lacrosse

BY CHRIS MASCARO

Hey everyone, be sure to check out this week's girls lacrosse insider by Marc Jimenez on Division coach Lisa Scansarole, who recovered from a horrific accident and has been a great inspiration to her team.

Also, check out my sidebar on yesterday's West Babylon-Northport game, which turned out to be a classic.

In the story, I mentioned a crucial assist Shannon Smith made off of a forced turnover, and you can see that play on the video from yesterday's game at the 1:20 mark (you can also see Shannon's N-Zone athlete of the week video here).

Quite an impressive play by the All-American senior.

Aside from Smith, the one thing that impressed me about West Babylon was the contributions of its role players—Chelsea Retaleato, Jocelyn Dawson and Katie Harrison, who have done a nice job playing off Smith this season.

Along with the insider is, two players of the week from each county and team rankings.

Speaking of which, here are our combined Long Island rankings...

1. Garden City (8-0)
2. West Babylon (7-1)
3. Northport (5-1)
4. Farmingdale (5-0)
5. Shoreham-Wading River (7-0)
6. North Babylon (6-1)
7. Manhasset (5-1)
8. Massapequa (6-1)
9. Rocky Point (7-0)
10. North Shore (7-1)

*Note: West Babylon's and North Shore's only loss is to Garden City, while Northport, North Babylon and Massapequa only lost to West Babylon. Manhasset fell to Notre Dame Prep in Maryland in its season-opener.

Feel free to chime in with your top-10.
