3. WARD MELVILLE BOYS LACROSSE

4. KELLENBERG SOFTBALL
The Firebirds opened the season strong, highlighted by a 14-6 win over East Meadow, the two-time defending Long Island Class AA champions. Julia Piotrowski went 4-for-4 with two doubles and four RBIs and Caroline Bratichak went 3-for-4 with two doubles and four RBIs in the win.

Lefty Matt Goodis has three wins and righty Joe Savino has 18 strikeouts in 12 innings and two wins as the Thunderbirds are off to a 7-0 start. The offense has been keyed by Josh McGee, Alex Ungar, Derek Yalon and Matty Brown-Eiring, all hitting over .400.
6. HUNTINGTON BOYS TRACK
The Blue Devils have shown no signs of stopping after a phenomenal indoor season. Eric Sands and Gary Barash placed 1-2 in the shot put at last weekend’s Longwood Track Classic. Sands won with a 47 foot, 7 3/4-inch toss and Barash was second, going 43-10 3/4.
7. MANHASSET GIRLS LACROSSE
The Indians lost to McDonogh (Md.) in a battle of the top two teams in the nation but rebounded nicely with a 12-2 win over North Shore. Maria Themelis and Emma LoPinto each scored four times against the Vikings.
8. ROSLYN BOYS TENNIS
