VARSITY ROUNDUP

Wet weather upends Tigers schedule

BY TOM WALOGORSKY
EDITOR

It was a washout week for
our Tigers, with inclement
weather and wet eld con-
ditions playing havoc with
the schedule. Heading into
spring break, at least one
contest was postponed for
each squad, including the
golf team which lost a pair of
matches, and nearly an entire
slate of games on Saturday,
April 9 being rained out.

Sophia Aqeel led the Tigers,

going 2-3 with a single, a

On Saturday, April 9, the

the contest to a scrimmage.

Somers in non-league play, enduring
an o ensive onslaught from the Tusk-

Anna Behler, and Carolyne Barrella
each netted one apiece. Cassie Pelosi
had 3 draw controls for the Tigers.

Izzy Conley had 5 saves in goal,
before turning keeper duties over to
sophomore Madeline Merriman who
stopped three shots.

“Somers is one of the best teams in
Section 1 and they have a lot of talent
on o ense,” said Coach Don Merri-
man. “We struggled to win the draw,
particularly in the rst half which gave
Somers many more possessions.”

Despite going into half time down
14-2, the Tigers showed resilience and
held the Somers o ense in check for
the remainder of the game.

“ is team has a lot of ght, and I
am proud of how we played, particu-
larly in the second half,” added Coach
Merriman. “I am excited to see how
we match up against league opponents
and other class D teams.”

Friday, April 8

e Tigers continued to work toward
nding their rhythm, dropping the sec-
ond game of the week.
“We played a strong rst half, argu-
ably our best lacrosse of the young sea-
son,” said Coach Merriman. “ e team
always plays with grit and determina-
tion, and tonight was not an exception.”
Maya Dallow led North Salem with
a pair of goals, with Anna Behler, Car-
olyne Barrella, and Lili Valletta each
scoring once. Valletta also had 4 ground
balls and 4 draw controls for the Tigers.
Senior keeper Izzy Conley had 16
saves, while Dana Connolly (1 assist,
3 ground balls), Solace Winslow (2
ground balls), Jenna DeMasi (2 ground
balls), and Jessie Bossi (2 ground balls)
all contributed in the e ort.
“As a team we have been focused on
improving on the draw and limiting
turnovers,” added Coach Merriman.
“We were de nitely better on the draw
tonight, but we were unable to limit the
turnovers the way we wanted.”

e Tigers were scheduled to play
Walter Panas on April 12, and will host

when serving Easter dinner. Perhaps no food is Connection.

For the cumin gravy:

1 pint lamb or chicken stock

1 - 2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground Roux (optional)

Warm the cumin seeds lightly in a pan, then crush them using a pestle and mortar. Score the skin of the meat in
a diamond pattern with a sharp knife. Transfer to a roasting tin. Sprinkle the meat with salt, pepper and the
ground cumin seeds, and drizzle with olive oil.

Roast for 6-7 hours at 275 F — this gives a delicious, juicy, succulent texture. (Alternatively, preheat the oven to
320 F and roast for 2-2 1⁄2 hours.) Transfer to a serving dish and leave in a warm place while you make the gravy.

To make the cumin gravy, spoon the fat off the roasting tin. Add the stock to the remaining cooking juice. Boil for
a few minutes on top of the stove, stirring and scraping the tin well to dissolve the caramelised meat juices (a
small whisk is typically ideal for this). Add the ground toasted cumin. Thicken with a little roux if you like. Taste
and add salt and pepper if needed. Pass through a sieve and transfer to a gravy boat.

Carve the meat into thick slices so that everybody gets some crushed cumin seeds. Serve with the cumin gravy
and crusty roast potatoes.

Note: For Lamb Roast with Coriander: Substitute coriander seeds for the cumin seeds, both for roasting the lamb
and flavoring the gravy. Alternatively, use a mix of cumin and coriander seeds.

Note: A shoulder of lamb is much trickier to carve than a leg, but it’s so sweet and juicy that is certainly worth the
struggle.
