Jane Brennan on defense GIRLS LACROSSE

moves to
JoJo Degl
10-1

BY RICH MONETTI
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

ere seems to be no stopping the force that is
the John Jay girls lacrosse team. e Wolves’ re-
cord stands at 10-1 after a perfect 3-0 week.

Starting the week o at the high school on
April 26, the girls took to Contest Field, and soon
enough, the match-up versus Walter Panas was
anything but. Less than four minutes in, John Jay
had a 4-0 lead, and identifying the source of the
synergy in the 16-6 victory was easy enough for
JoJo Degl.

“It’s really just a family. I adore every single per-
son on this team,” JoJo Degl said.

e scoring began when John Jay won the face-
o . Georgia Wilmoth made her move to the right
of the goal. She was sent ying to the turf but eas-
ily scored on the penalty at 24:04.

Less than a minute later, Wilmoth held her
ground and left the scoring to Caroline Panzirer.
A teammate\ spotted John Jay’s leading scorer on
the cut,and Panzirer made easy work of the goalie.

Panzirer then returned the favor. Forcing the
turnover at mid eld, Panzirer caught Degl in
stride, and the subsequent penalty shot gave John
Jay a 3-0 lead.

Only three minutes gone by, it was still a long
stretch to go without hearing from Shannon No-
lan. So, o the outbounds, she stealthily found her
way to the goal line. Nolan faked high, shot low,
and the lead was four.

Soon after, X marked the passing spot as it usu-
ally does for Nolan. From behind, she paused the
defense, and Panzirer made her standard cut to

nd the netting again.
e 5-0 lead was soon eight, and the starters

got the rest of the day o .Of course,there were no
complaints from the likes of Olivia Casavant. She
took a perfect pass from Nicole DiNapoli, and
scored at 7:14 to make the score 11-3.

e senior didn’t shrink, either, when she was
positioned to send Nolan to the bench.“It’s Shan-
non,” Casavant said. “You got to play up to how
she plays or you’re going to come out.”

And hitting Panzirer from behind for a 12-3
lead said as much. Not the only one making the
most of the chance to be heard, Erika Rajovik
stepped o and Wilmoth was happy to oblige
with an assist to make the score 15-6.

But on the bench or in the eld, the nal score
is always the same as the senior sees it.

“It’s 20 of my best friends.Practice is fun,games
are fun, and even when we are losing, it’s a learn-
ing experience,” Rojovik said.

John Jay then took senior night 12-7 on Friday
versus Kingston and faced Mahopac on Saturday
in a league contest. In a 16-4 victory, Shannon
Nolan had 7 assists, Mia Puccio netted 5 goals,
Annabel Brennan had 4 goals, and Aidan Sum-
mer notched 6 saves.

John Jay moves into first place with 3-0 week

ace Greeley could have had the team losing
their sense of direction, but the boys were Roundup
de nitely on the make in sweeping the two
games.

On April 25 at home, Coach Ken San-
toianni saw a team e ort where Starter
Andrew Hammer gave up three runs in 5.1
innings, and Andrew Lombardi’s 1-2 day
drove in two. e coach was also quick to
single out 1.2 innings of scoreless relief by
Luke Spieler that helped bring home the
tight 4-3 victory.

ere was a lot less drama at Horace
Greeley, though. On a cold, windy ursday,
Alec Skirlo got o the bus with his engine
running. He led o with a double, and refus-
ing to cool down, Lucas Orlovitz singled his
shortstop home. Scott Esposito then walked
and an error on Dan Pieratti’s grounder to
short brought in Orlovitz for a 2-0 lead.

Not ready to idle, Mike Aiello knows
it’s all about keeping his eyes ahead. “I just
focus on making contact,” said Aiello, and
his single gave the Wolves a three-run rst-
inning lead.

Will Matthews didn’t give Greeley the
chance to answer back, either, and the of-
fense piled on in the second. Brendan Will-
ingham led o with a single, Skrilo walked,
and Orlovitz singled home his second run of
the game.

e 4-0 lead was soon 5-0 when Scott
Esposito singled in Skrilo , and from there,
Matthews kept the Quaker bats from gen-
erating any heat. An easy 8-1 victory ensued,
and catcher Mike Russo de nitely sees the
sea change from a slow start to the season.

“We began 0-2. But we’re playing a lot
better, and I think we’re going to win a lot
more games,” he said.

e Wolves did just that on April 30 and
then some. ey defeated Brewster 14-2 be-
hind a complete game from Andrew Ham-
mer. In a 14-hit attack, Russo went 3-3, Or-
