WEST HEMPSTEAD 2023 HERALD High School Lacrosse Preview By TONY BELLISSIMO New Rams boys’ lacrosse coach Austin Wolfson inherits a roster with a mix of returnees and newcomers. Numbers in the program are up with the varsity carrying 22, although there’s not enough bodies to fi eld a JV team. “There’s defi nite potential,” said Wolfson, who played for two national championship teams at what’s now LIU-Post and recently coached three seasons at the JV level in Oceanside. “It’s a young group,” he added. “We’re mostly juniors and sophomores with a few seniors and freshmen included.” West Hempstead’s chances of success begin from the goalie-out. Senior Dan Clark is a veteran between the pipes and has shown tremendous leadership, the coach said. “He’s a kid who is positive and upbeat and proving to be an exceptional leader,” Wolfson said. “In the cage he has a big frame and experience.” The defense in front of Clark will also be key in keeping the Rams competitive a year after they secured a couple of victories. Seniors Stephen Coppola and Michael AbiAoun won’t come off the fi eld until they need a breather, Wolfson noted. Coppola is a strong one-on-one defender with a fi nesse game, while AbiAoun brings a physical element. Junior Daniel Rodriguez will also start in the back and has the markings of a vocal leader with one-on-one ability. In the midfi eld, juniors Steven Poirot and Gavin Lee will lead a group that includes newcomers Dennis Rodriguez and David Maldonado. Poirot is expected to handle the majority of draws and possesses a combination of height and strength. Lee is a shifty multisport athlete who’ll be counted on to produce at both ends of the fi eld. Seniors Walter Jaco Ruiz and David Tobar, along with freshman Kayden Nuzzi, head the depth chart on attack. The Rams averaged only fi ve goals per game last spring. “Fundamentals win games,” Wolfson said. “It’s going to be about draws, time of possession, ground balls and clears.” Top weapons lead West Hempstead A couple of Nassau County’s girls’ lacrosse 2022 leading scorers reside on a Rams roster that runs 17-deep this spring. Senior midfi elder Gianna Cardillo netted 50 goals a year ago, while talented young attack Elizabeth Poirot scored 46 times and had 14 assists — as an eighth-grader. Along with a handful of graduates and returning starting goalie Glenda Garcia, they led West Hempstead to a 7-win campaign. “We’re excited and expect to have some success even though we lost some key pieces,” coach Suzanne Kenney said. “We have solid numbers and just need a few kids to step up and fi ll some voids.” The offense should be in good hands. Cardillo, a New Paltz commit and Honorable Mention AllCounty, is a three-sport athlete and the Rams’ best two-way player, Kenney said. “Gianna is strong all over the fi eld with a nose for the goal,” the coach said. “She’ll take most draws and she’s a powerful runner who’s hard to stop.” Poirot, an All-Conference selection, is an aggressive playmaker who works well from behind the cage and in front of it. “Her stick skills are excellent and so is her lacrosse IQ,” Kenney said. “She had chemistry last year with Mackenzie [Cates] and she also works well with Gianna.” Senior attack Emma Resko has been with the team for three seasons and will be counted on to pick up some of the scoring slack with Cates graduated. Junior midfi elder Ivana Jiminez impressed last spring with 10 goals and 10 assists and provides a great deal of speed as well. Freshman Danielle Healey, another three-sport athlete, bolsters the midfi eld. Senior Lillian Fackelman, described by Kenney as a smart and steady player, anchors a defense that will be otherwise unproven. It’s the third year Garcia will serve as the starting goaltender. “She’s worked hard with assistant coach Sheila Dempsey and has had two really solid years,” Kenney said.
