In other winning action, the girls’ softball team started off the month of April with a bang, defeating Manhasset in an 12-11 slugfest. Kate Kozuch and Megha Schmalzle had the big hits in a 10-run fourth inning that gave Roslyn a lead they would never relinquish. The Lady Bulldogs are now 1-1.

Few spring sports, including baseball, have become as popular as lacrosse. On Saturday, March 28, the girls’ lacrosse top notched a big win over Carey, 8-2. The powerhouse quartet of Callie Migden, Samantha Busch, Reilly Liotta and Molli Spencer accounted for all eight points. Migden had three goals, Liotta and Spencer had two each, with Busch had both a goal and an assist. Reilly’s sister, Mackenzie Liotta had an impressive nine saves in the goalie box.

On April 1, the boys’ lacrosse team scored their own high-flying win with a tight 7-6 victory over Glen Cove. Three goals in the third quarter broke open a tie game, as Roslyn’s defense held off a fourth quarter surge by Glen Cove. The Bulldogs’ attack was well-rounded, with Jordan Hurwitz, Jordan Steinfast and Zach Simon accounting for three points and Michael Rapone adding two points. All three of Steinfast’s points came on goals, while both of Rapone’s points came on assists. Griffin Goldberg played his usual stellar game in the goal, recording five saves.
