Quote of the day: "If people really wanted to scout us, they'd notice that my entire forward line has goals," Sayville field hockey coach Betty Martin said, after the Golden Flashes defeated Bay Shore, 1-0, Friday. "I have seven people that can clearly score goals. I think that's the difference. We welcome you to challenge [forward] Cassie [Cabral] - it only opens the door for somebody else."
