Northport ends Ward Melville’s streak

Miccio scored in the final minutes of the first half to give Northport a 4-2 halftime lead, and again during a 3-0 Northport run to start the third quarter. Declan Goonan (11 saves) made several point blank stops in the fourth quarter to secure the win for Northport (6-3).

Ward Melville held a 20-game win streak, last losing to Half Hollow Hills East, 7-6, on April 18, 2018.

Garden City stands up SWR

Will Puccio scored four goals, James Basile had two goals and two assists and Justin Coppola won 14 of 17 faceoffs in a cross-county clash of unbeatens as Garden City beat Shoreham-Wading River, 12-5. The Trojans' defense stifled the SWR attack, which came in averaging 14.2 goals per game. Garden City (10-0) led 9-2 at the half.

Kozak becomes Floral Park’s all-time leader

Senior Mitchell Kozak scored four goals in Floral Park’s 12-5 victory over Seaford to become the program’s all-time leader in goals, per coach Ryan Obloj. Kozak, headed to UMBC next season, came into the game with 155 career goals, tied for the mark, and his first tally came 30 seconds into the game.

Kozak now has 26 goals and 22 assists on the season and said he was surprised to learn he was closing in on the scoring mark before the game.

“I’m definitely more of a feeder first,” Kozak said. “I’m always trying to keep my head up, looking for my teammates and looking for them to score. But I know I can shoot too.”
