Daniel Farez and Randy Tapia spotted Peekskill a 2-0 lead before Velasquez saved the day. Velasquez also scored twice in a 2-2 with Peekskill. Panas finished off PUTNAM VALLEY, 3-0, when the Tigers failed to contain Jefferson Velasquez who posted a natural hat trick for the Panthers (6-8-2). Unofficially, No.15 PANAS (6-8-2) has a ridiculously tough draw with No.18 Roosevelt in the outbracket before going to Tappan Zee in the opening round. The loss sent the Red Devils (10-4-2) to the No.6 seed and kept the Sailors (3-12-1) postseason hopes barely alive. HEN HUD put a monkey wrench on PEEKSKILL’s plans with a 1-0 Sailor win behind a goal from Zach Zalamea, assisted by Charley Corrad 15 minutes into the second half. Though, it would be a shocker if Coach Brian Lanzetta’s Tuskers aren’t squared off with Lakeland in what would be an entertaining quarterfinal round, with winners potentially taking on Yorktown. Somers will need a disciplined Brady Leitner as the potential No8 seed on a potential collision course with No1 Yorktown in quartersĪt 10-6 overall, SOMERS is the team nobody wants to see in the early rounds, but in the same breath it would be a feather in anyone’s cap to knock the Tuskers (10-6) off their perch while developing confidence throughout the tournament, which is what ninth-seeded Sleepy Hollow might be thinking. After Thomas Lyden spotted Westlake a 1-0 lead, Diego Weiss, Jesse LaRosa and Gordon Walsh netted consecutive goals for the Quakers, who have not lost in their last seven matches (6-0-1). The Quakers also defeated WESTLAKE, 3-1, as the reigning Section 1 Class B champion Wildcats fell to 5-9-2. However, the collision course between Coach Hourahan’s Hornets and Coach Camp Shropshire’s Quakers seems inevitable. In other words, don’t expect an easy out when a hardened Mahopac pays a visit. The Indians are 7-8 on the season and have lost four of the last five but those losses have come against some tough Class AA competition, including CARMEL, Arlington, John Jay EF and Somers. Yorktown managed to score 15 goals in a pair of season-ending wins over BREWSTER and John Jay CR, piling up the 11th and 12th shutouts of the year for this splendid back line of defenders, which have allowed just four goals all season in front of skillful keeper JP Frucco.įifth-seeded HORACE GREELEY (11-2-2) went off on Saunders in an 8-0 win behind goals from Jesse LaRosa (2G), Jeremy Taber (2G), Bryan Ji, Bryce Bernbach, Daniel Fioretti, Diego Weiss and Gordon Walsh, thus securing home field advantage in the first round and setting up a potential doozy with Lakeland in the quarters, though Lakeland would have to survive the No.13 MAHOPAC/No.20 HEN HUD outbracket winner. 5 should they survive and advance.īut let’s not put the cart before the horse because the road to the sectional finals has some serious bumps to navigate. Which should set them up rather nicely for the state tournament where Yorktown would host the Section 9/Section 4 winner on Nov. “The waters are so much tougher to navigate, so whoever wins Class A and B will have won four really tough games.” “As for class A and B, the one seeds are of course the favorites and are both undefeated, but both classes are so deep,” Lakeland Coach Tim Hourahan said. So, Yorktown, while having become the first team in school history to go undefeated and untied in the regular season, has one heck of a road to hoe en route to the finals.īriarcliff junior forward Matt Galiano sends a shot on goal late in the second half of last weeks home win over the Valhalla Vikings The current seeds show the Huskers (16-0) having to face reigning NYS champion and eighth-seeded SOMERS in the quarterfinals and No.4 crosstown rival LAKELAND in the quarters before a potential title with No.2 Tappan Zee, ranked No.6 in NYS. Perhaps nobody will have it tougher than YORKTOWN, though. The regular season is a thing of the past, the seeds are essentially set as we speak and the second season begins this week with four top seeds and somewhat crystal clear favorites: Classes AA (state-ranked No.1 Scarsdale), Class A (state-ranked No.2 Yorktown), Class B (state-ranked No.1 Briarcliff) and Class C (state-ranked No.6 Haldane).
