The current week

It has been a hectic week between field hockey and all of the other fall sports, capped off by a maddening Thursday with the majority of the football games being played so I’ve been a little behind with my posts.
So let me catch up and fill everyone in on some of the week’s highlights:
Monday: North Rockland defeated Suffern, 2-1 on a Chrissy Gutenberger second-half goal. … Brewster opened its season with an 8-0 victory over Harrison as Gabby Fallon registered a hat trick. … First-year Nyack coach Cheryl Eglin, who replaced veteran coach and great guy Al Pesner, earned her first varsity win in a 3-0 verdict over Hen Hud.
Tuesday: Bronxville needed a late second-half goal by Rachel Kim to earn a 2-2 draw with Pawling. Pawling always plays Bronxville tough and reunites neighbors June Lagan (Pawling coach) and Bronxville’s Courtnie (Smith) Egan. Lagan got Smith started with field hockey when Smith was a young girl. … North Salem’s Liz Holt scored her first varsity goal in a 3-1 win over Rye Neck.
Wednesday: I missed the day’s action because it was a big day in the Pinciaro household. My daughter, Elena, hit a milestone birthday, turning 10. Double digits is a big age, as I’m sure all field hockey dads will attest to with their daughters. I remember when Elena was born, and now she is 10. Where did the time go. Field hockey dads, you can understand.
In their annual rivalry, Carmel takes the first game in the season set with Mahopac, 2-0, as Anna Jarzebiak and Mariel Persichilli score. Carmel coach Colette Brenneman was happy that I was not covering this game because she considers me a jinx (as does North Salem coach Jen Frohman). … New Valhalla coach Tara Lahm earns her first varsity win as Kayla Haas scores in a 1-0 game with Rye Neck … Panas won for the third time in four games with an 8-0 win over Hen Hud as Ali Tracy scored twice and Casey McGovern added three assists. … Virginia-bound Chelsea Robinson scores two goals as Lakeland blanks Yorktown, 3-0, running its record to 5-0.
Thursday: Bronxville defeats North Salem, 5-0, as five different players score, led by Jessica Murrer’s goal and two assists. … Pleasantville’s Bridget Munier follows up a hat trick with two more goals in a 5-0 win over Croton. … Ellen Williams and Cathleen Smith pop in two goals apiece as Mamaroneck handles Mahopac, 6-0. … Somers remains undefeated (5-0) with a 5-0 win over Hen Hud as Lizzy Russo records a hat trick. … John Jay defeats Fox Lane, 3-0, improving to 3-0-1 on the season. … Clarkstown South’s Devon Trenkle turns in her second consecutive shutout in a 2-0 win over Ursuline. … Harrison gets its first win of the season – 3-1 over White Plains – as Johnna Valentzas scores twice.
Next week, the game of the week is Pleasantville at Bronxville on Wednesday (4:15 p.m.) It is the first meeting between the two teams since Bronxville bested Pleasantville, 1-0 in the 2006 Section 1 Class C title game.

How are scores and stories reported to the JNews? This is what’s posted – Lakeland 3, Horace Greeley 0: At Greeley, Cassie O’Mara had a goal and an assist. It doesn’t tell the story of two similar schools with two very different programs. Lakeland totally dominated and many many many girls contributed. Does it come out this way because the less-than-stellar Greeley AD send in the blurb?
Fancy Pants –
The game was called in by the Horace Greeley coach, who is a former top high-school and college field hockey player. This has nothing to do with the Greeley AD.
One of the best Field Hockey games of the current year will be played at Lakeland High school Friday night at 6 p.m. /
Lakeland will be polaying Pine Bush who lost to Greene H.S. last year in the Regional’s. Anyone who is a Field hockey fan will enjoy watching Lakeland’s Field Hockey Team.
