Marine win sets up date with Plainedge at Hofstra.
The Long Beach Marines boys lacrosse team have made it to Hofstra in every year of head coach Jim Kasper's tenure -- this season will be no different. A 9-6 victory over the Lynbrook Owls on Friday night at Long Beach Middle School sent the Marines back to the Nassau Class B quarterfinals. "That's our goal every year," Kasper said of playing at Hofstra during the playoffs. As the first half wound down, it looked like the Marines would sail toward the Hofstra date. Connor Sofield's second goal of the evening gave Long Beach a 4-1 lead with 5:58 left in the second quarter. The goal was Long Beach's fourth unanswered score after Lynbrook had taken an early 1-0 lead. The Owls managed to grab two more goals in nearing the end of the half, but…

Says Offense-Defense Combine event complied with school district policy.
Did the Malverne school district violate New York State Education law by allowing a South Carolina-based corporation to use its fields last weekend? School officials say "No." Although he could not comment specifically on Section 414 of the state law, which states: "For meetings, entertainments and occasions where admission fees are charged, when the proceeds thereof are to be expended for an educational or charitable purpose;" Spiro Colaitis, assistant superintendent for Malverne's District Operations, said the district's legal counsel vetted the request for Offense Defense, a for-profit football corporation from Myrtle Beach, S.C., to host a Combine at the high school fields on May 5 and May 6. "The lawyer said we are in compliance," he…

Former Owls QB Chris Frusci took over NYIT Bears tennis last summer.
Given his prior athletic history, Chris Frusci’s current position at NYIT in Old Westbury is, at the very least, surprising.The 2004 Lynbrook High School graduate was a member of the Owls football, basketball, and baseball programs, and played each sport for all four years of his high school career before attending Muhlenberg on a football scholarship. So, it came as a bit of a shock when the three-sport athlete was named head coach of the NYIT men’s and women’s tennis teams last summer. Frusci chalks up the opportunity to being in “the right place at the right time.” He had been working at NYIT when the school began its tennis program in 2010. Head coach Kelly Waters, not wanting to tackle the task alone, asked him to be her …

On Monday, the #5 Adelphi men's lacrosse team hosted the Yellow Jackets of American International College in a Northeast-10 Conference contest.
