Same in Garden City but they couldn't buy a win.

the refs...the refs...the refs! yeah sure. csh was able to make a play when it counted. how about that? yeah and im sure csh parents were running up and down sidelines complaining that there was no call. stop it.

I know a lot of the Mt. Sinai parents and I have never heard any of them say anything but how much work Al puts in with the girls and how he has been instrumental in their success. My daughter has played with and against them and the MT Sinai parents have always been supportive of all the girls. It's obvious you have some personal issues, Give it a rest or address it with them yourself.

Nassau ref from farmingdale, president of nassau officials organazation. should i say more....

Both Teams Coaches agree who is going to Officiate playoff games. There are Teams in Nassau that refuse to have the Official in question,

I just saw the tape, he should have just let her pick up the ball with her hand and throw the ball in the goal. If you are not capable of putting friendship aside then you should not be officiating a game in which your friends daughter played. Is there anyone at NYSED that oversees officials? This guy is out of control.

The head of the Nassau officials assoc. is Joe Fanning

You Suffolk people really need to learn how to lose (and win) with dignity. I can't believe all the stuff you write on here. The only thing I ask is this - please keep it up. I love reading it - it's like a car wreck that you have to see. I also love it because you rip each other so much that hopefully coaches get wind of your antics and your reputations making it easier to recruit our kids. Please continue...

Was not at game...Not from either town...posts made me wonder so I watched the replay on MSG Varsity.

If you go back and watch, in slow motion, you will clearly see that white #18 pushes the shooter from behind causing the shooter to collide into the goalie. Good goal!
Had the shot missed it would have been a fee position on the 8 as it would have impacted the shot.

you may not like the official and he may stink. But he did get this one right!

If fouls occurred during play I think it should have been no Goal with a free Position. If Not should have been no draw after Goal with CSH getting ball

OK Dave, I mean Dad.

If a foul occurs while a girl is in the critical scoring area and she still has advantage the flag is raised and the whistle is held. In this case the ref is correct to allow the shot to be taken. Possession should go to the scoring team due to the major foul after the shot . That's just how I would have called it.

It is sad that these bad ref calls can determine the outcome of so many games. You can say peole are just complaining, and blaming others for their loss, but I disagree. When your child reaches a competition of high calibur, there is a lot at stake. There needs to be someting done to ensure these ref calls are legit. Maybe more refs are needed? I don't know the answer, but it's not right!!

I agree, the officiating is inconsistent and sometimes downright bias! It is a sport that has more whistles and stoppages than a traffic cop in Times Square! This puts a lot of emphasis on the officials interpretation of the rules and their ability to execute that day. There is a philosophical difference of how the game should be called throughout women's lacrosse and you see those differences from ref to ref. It makes it difficult for the girls to know how to play from game to game. Since there are so many calls and subjectivity there are more reaction from coaches, players and fans to those calls. I have been involved in many sports and I have never seen ref's influenced from that reaction as much as this sport. To the point where their calls get demonstrative towards the team they have turned on. These refs need to be reminded that the game is not about them and they don't need to be a part in the outcome!
That being said, I watched both BBP games vs. MT Sinai and CSH, As much as they got the short end against CSH, they certainly got the benefit in the MT Sinai game.

have we forgotten that this was not the only game played?? West islip rocked Fdale and is off to the states.. 20-0 and still counting

Yeah no one seems to care

great job WI, good luck in Cortland!

CONGRATS TO WEST ISLIP. GO WIN STATES. A WM parent

Jealous people say they don't, but they do!

I think West Islip got very lucky its 1st 2 playoff games, should have lost, then played so so against Hauppauge.. But against Farmingdale after farmingdale went up 3 0, I thought it would be a blow out. WI woke up and dominated the rest of the game 12 5. Farmingdale goalie played great could have been much worse like 16 5.

you jealous people don't get it WI doesn't give a [lacrosse] what you think

Good luck to all Long Island Teams in States. Make us proud!

Good luck to WI!

What the [lacrosse] is going on in suffolk county?

if WI didn't care what people thought then you wouldn't have posted that. Farmingdale was weak this year. They lost to many of the stronger teams, defense wasn't what it used to be. It's good to see someone knocked the Fdale parents off their pedestals. Div 1 in suffolk county also very weak this year would love to think of what the score would have been if WI played MT Sinai, Sayville, Bayport or ESM guarenteed not the same results as they had against fdale

hello from cortland

any score from this morning

Good luck West Islip, come home with the 'ship.

9 -3 Manhasset w ins

Manhasset, Cold Spring Harbor and West Islip all win to make it to the State Championships. Strong Island!

I have a question. If college coaches are not allowed to contact you before your junior year, how do all of these 9/10 graders get to committ? Who do they talk to if they can't talk to you? Thank you.

Pretty sure it's a one-way "commitment" - the girls saying where they want to go. I don't think the schools are committing to anything - why would they so far in advance? Too many variables on both sides.

They contact you through your club director or coach.

The girls are allowed to call the coaches, so the coaches can talk to the girls. The coaches just can't initiate the call. It's silly, really. If the player calls and gets voicemail, they leave a message, and mention a few times that they'll call back. If the coach wants the kid, they'll be available one of the times, to answer the phone. Also, the coaches can call the club coaches, who then tell the girls to call the coach, or act as a liaison. It's a pretty useless rule when you think about it!

Thank you all.. Just one more question, if a college coach calls the director of your club is he oblugated to tell you?

Doubt he's obligated, but I wouldn't want to play for any director who wouldn't.

Cold Spring Harbor lost
