West Islip to play for 'A' title
June 4, 2004
Newsday
WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Matt Sullivan scored three goals and
Troy Turri added two goals and an assist as West Islip
beat Shenendehowa (Section II), 12-5, in the Class A boys
lacrosse state semifinals on Thursday night at Michie
Stadium.
West Islip (22-0) will play two-time defending state
champion West Genesee (22-1, Section III) for the title
at 4 p.m. Saturday at Hofstra' Stuart Stadium.
Trailing 4-3 at the half, the Lions scored four unanswered
in the third quarter for a 7-4 lead. Sal Barcia made
nine saves for West Islip.
West Genesee has always been a powerhouse in lacrosse,
both boys and girls. The boys beat Farmingdale by a
goal for the 2003 state title and Northport by a goal
for the 2002 title.
West Islip, which never won a Suffolk title before
this season (lost four times in the final), keeps rolling
along toward that elusive state title.
Shen (16-5) is the only Section II team to appear in
the state semifinals in three straight years. Each time,
a Long Island school has removed Shen from the state
title picture.
