It was a Wednesday marked by one-goal thrillers in New York, with two in overtime.

Connetquot earned its first-ever appearance in the Section 11 final by defeating two-time Suffolk County (NY) champ Smithtown East 13-12 on a goal by GP Grippo off a feed from his brother Collin.

Just up the road in Section 1, Pleasantville won its second straight Class C title, defeating Bronxville 4-3 in overtime on a goal by All-America defender Jack Drillock. For more on the game, including video interviews, click here.

The evening at White Plains was capped by a dramatic 13-12 win for Lakeland/Panas in the Class A final on a goal with six seconds left in regulation by Griffin Shiland. For more on the game, click here.

The day started with Yorktown winning its 39th sectional title, and sixth straight, by beating John Jay 8-5 in the Class B final. For more on the game, including video interviews, click here.
