Girls who run this world: Suffolk glax players of the week

THERE ARE THREE WEEKS LEFT TO THE REGULAR SEASON!

Ahem.

Sorry. Was I shouting? I was shouting. What I’m trying to say is that this season went blazing fast and I feel like I’ve gotten to write about 1/27^thof the teams I wanted to see this year. Bosses willing, Stephen and I will be going on a glax tear in the coming days, so don’t be shy about coming up and saying hey. I’m the brunette who looks waaaaaaaaay more surely than her blog picture.

Also: I know the big gripe about these athletes of the week is that the defenders get shafted (see! I pay attention to Twitter/comments/email/icy sideline glares)…and to those people I say, dudes. I know. And I’m sorry. Because we can only go to so many games, there’s no way to base the selections on visual evidence. I have to go on the stats that get called into Newsday. So: groundballs, forced turnovers. If the coaches mention ‘em, I’ll write about ‘em.

Let’s get started…with a defensive player (sorta).

Grab bag of awesome.

Rocky Point’s Alyssa Guido had one goal and seven assists…Cortney Fortunato had five goals and four assists for Northport…Hannah Burnett scored seven goals and three assists in what’s becoming a common occurrence for Huntington…Harborfield’s Sarah Crowley scored six goals and five assists against Miller Place…teammate Chandler Banks had 17 saves.
