First came New Jersey. Then Nassau. And Suffolk. And the PSAL. Followed by the South-West Connecticut Conference and Section 1. Today, more postseason high school tournament pairings from the nation’s No. 1 hotbed for lacrosse, the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tristate region, will be unveiled. We are expecting to have seeds for the FCIAC sometime in [...]
It looks like Lakeland/Panas (Class A), Yorktown (Class B) and Bronxville (Class C) are locks to be the top seeds, but there’s plenty of other determinations to be made this morning as Section 1 coaches hold their postseason meeting to determine the pairings for the 2012 postseason tournament. As always, you can see the complete [...]

It’s a best of three. But right now, things look pretty promising for Chaminade. The Flyers won 11-8 at St. A’s yesterday, staying in control after jumping out to a 4-0 lead. Coupled with a 6-5 win at Chaminade earlier in the season, and the Flyers have swept the regular-season series against the Friars for [...]

For a team that has enjoyed a considerable amount of success — including postseason success — the last decade, Rye has actually been flying under the radar this season.

Sometimes, we forget that the game itself is not the biggest thing. And that the games are just that – games. So when those in the lacrosse community come together to embrace a cause that’s so much more than the score, it’s especially refreshing. We’ve seen quite a few examples of that the last few [...]
Lakeland/Panas and John Jay fell just short of Section 1 championships last year. LP lost to Mahopac in the Class A title game while John Jay lost to Yorktown. Today, both squads meet. Expect this one to be a defensive-oriented affair. LP has allowed a total of just eight goals in two games (wins over [...]

At 10:30 a.m., there’s a nice matchup between defending Class A state champ Farmingdale and [...]
