What are the key strengths of Wantagh’s girls lacrosse team. How does Coach Robyn Rooney assess their chances for success. Who are the standout players to watch in the upcoming season.
Wantagh’s Lacrosse Legacy: Building on Past Success
Wantagh’s girls lacrosse team has established itself as a formidable force in Nassau County’s Class C division. After reaching the championship game in 2019, the team is poised for even greater achievements in the current season. Coach Robyn Rooney’s confidence in her squad is evident as she declares, “I think we have a chance to shock a lot of people.”
The team’s recent performance underscores this optimism. In a nail-biting encounter against Manhasset, a perennial powerhouse now competing in Class C, Wantagh emerged victorious with a 13-12 win. This early-season triumph, coupled with a commanding 17-7 victory over Long Beach, sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting campaign.
The Challenging Road Ahead: Navigating a Tough Schedule
Despite their strong start, Coach Rooney remains grounded, acknowledging the challenges that lie ahead. “Our whole season is a test,” she notes, pointing to the grueling schedule of 13 games against Conference I opponents in just over a month. This intense competition demands unwavering focus and teamwork from the Warriors.
How does Wantagh plan to tackle this demanding schedule? Coach Rooney emphasizes the importance of unity: “There are no easy games and we have to play as a unit.” This collective approach will be crucial in navigating the competitive landscape of Nassau County lacrosse.
Star Power: Madison Taylor’s Game-Changing Presence
At the heart of Wantagh’s aspirations lies the exceptional talent of junior Madison Taylor. A Northwestern commit, Taylor has already made her mark on Long Island lacrosse. In her freshman year, she amassed an impressive 47 goals and 59 draw controls, establishing herself as a cornerstone of the team’s success.
Coach Rooney’s assessment of Taylor is nothing short of glowing: “She was our go-to player two years ago and continues to elevate her game. She’s impossible to guard and she’s even more dangerous as a feeder this year when defenses collapse on her.” Taylor’s evolution as both a scorer and facilitator adds a new dimension to Wantagh’s offensive arsenal.
Midfield Mastery: The Engine of Wantagh’s Success
While Taylor may be the standout, Wantagh’s midfield depth is a key factor in the team’s strength. Senior players Shae Insinga, Jillian Balkunis, and Shannon Sullivan form a formidable unit that excels in various aspects of the game.
- Shae Insinga: A versatile player who is crucial in draw controls and effective on both ends of the field. Coach Rooney believes Insinga is still realizing her full potential.
- Jillian Balkunis: Described as the “quarterback in the middle,” Balkunis is a proven offensive threat who elevates the play of her teammates.
- Shannon Sullivan: Known for her explosiveness and grit, Sullivan brings athleticism and a winning mentality to the midfield, having recently contributed to Wantagh’s county championship in volleyball.
This midfield core provides Wantagh with the versatility and skill to dominate possession and control the pace of the game.
Offensive Firepower: A Multi-Faceted Attack
Wantagh’s offensive capabilities extend beyond the midfield, with a revamped attack unit that has Coach Rooney excited about their potential. Several key players are expected to make significant contributions:
- Sabrina Caruso: A senior who has overcome a knee injury that sidelined her for most of 2019. Caruso’s return to form was evident in her five-goal performance against Manhasset.
- Madison Alaimo: A sophomore with a creative flair around the crease, as demonstrated by her six assists in the victory over Long Beach.
- Leena Moussa: A senior known for her aggressive approach to the cage.
- Eva Ingrilli: Another sophomore who adds depth and threat to the offensive lineup.
This diverse array of attacking talent gives Wantagh multiple options and makes them difficult to defend against.
Defensive Prowess: The Foundation of Success
While much attention is given to Wantagh’s offensive capabilities, their defense is equally crucial to their championship aspirations. The defensive unit is anchored by senior leadership and emerging talent:
- MaKenna Boutin: A Rutgers University commit and the lone returning starter in defense, Boutin provides experience and skill to the backline.
- Reilly Brady, Emma Gonsowski, and Olivia Benedetto: These seniors have stepped up to solidify the defensive effort, forming a cohesive unit.
In goal, Wantagh benefits from the dual threat of sophomores Nicole Schammloffel and Lauren Rochel. Coach Rooney’s decision to split time between the two goalkeepers showcases the team’s depth and adaptability.
The X-Factor: Team Chemistry and Multi-Sport Athletes
One of Wantagh’s unique strengths lies in the diverse athletic backgrounds of its players. Many team members, including Shannon Sullivan, Jillian Balkunis, and Sabrina Caruso, recently contributed to Wantagh’s county championship in volleyball. This experience of success in other sports brings a winning mentality and adaptability to the lacrosse field.
How does this multi-sport background benefit the lacrosse team? It fosters a sense of camaraderie and shared success, which can be crucial in high-pressure situations. Additionally, the varied skill sets developed in different sports can translate into more well-rounded lacrosse players.
Player Spotlight: Reilly Brady
To further illustrate the caliber of athletes on Wantagh’s roster, let’s take a closer look at senior defender Reilly Brady. Brady exemplifies the well-rounded nature of Wantagh’s players:
- Multi-sport athlete: Participates in soccer and basketball in addition to lacrosse
- Academic achiever: Enrolled in AP Language, AP US History, College-level psychology, and honors Spanish
- Leadership qualities: Received coaches’ award for hard work and leadership
- Community involvement: Active in Girl Scouts, having earned Bronze and Silver awards
Brady’s profile highlights the type of student-athlete that contributes to Wantagh’s success both on and off the field. Her combination of athletic versatility, academic dedication, and leadership skills is representative of the team’s overall character.
Championship Aspirations: The Road to Glory
With a talented roster, experienced coaching, and a proven track record of success, Wantagh’s girls lacrosse team has set its sights on the ultimate prize. Coach Rooney’s ambition is clear: “We’re hoping to walk off the field in the last game with a win. Only one team is fully happy at the end of the season and I want it to be our girls.”
Can Wantagh translate their potential into championship success? The ingredients are certainly there. With a blend of experienced seniors and talented underclassmen, a potent offense led by Madison Taylor, and a solid defensive foundation, the Warriors have the tools to compete at the highest level.
Keys to Success
As Wantagh pursues their championship dreams, several factors will be crucial to their success:
- Maintaining team unity through a challenging schedule
- Capitalizing on the versatility and athleticism of their multi-sport athletes
- Continual development of younger players like Madison Alaimo and Eva Ingrilli
- Leveraging the experience and leadership of senior players
- Adapting to different opponents and game situations
By focusing on these areas, Wantagh can maximize their potential and make a strong push for the Nassau Class C title.
The Bigger Picture: Wantagh’s Impact on Long Island Lacrosse
Wantagh’s success in girls lacrosse is not just about one season or one team. It represents the culmination of years of development and community investment in the sport. The Mini Laxers program, which introduces young players to the game, serves as a feeder system for the high school team, ensuring a continuous pipeline of talent.
How does Wantagh’s program contribute to the broader lacrosse community on Long Island? By consistently producing high-caliber players and competitive teams, Wantagh helps elevate the overall standard of play in the region. This, in turn, attracts college recruiters and increases opportunities for players to continue their careers at the next level.
Future Outlook
As Wantagh continues to build on its lacrosse tradition, the future looks bright. The combination of experienced coaching, strong youth programs, and a supportive community creates an environment where success can be sustained. Players like Madison Taylor, who have already committed to top collegiate programs, serve as role models for younger athletes aspiring to reach similar heights.
What can we expect from Wantagh girls lacrosse in the coming years? If the current trajectory continues, the program is likely to remain a perennial contender in Nassau County and beyond. The challenge will be to maintain this high level of performance while adapting to the ever-evolving landscape of high school lacrosse.
In conclusion, Wantagh’s girls lacrosse team stands at the cusp of potential greatness. With a blend of individual talent, team chemistry, and strategic coaching, they have positioned themselves as serious contenders for the Nassau Class C title. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on this talented group of athletes as they strive to turn their championship aspirations into reality.
Wantagh brings high expectations | Herald Community Newspapers
After guiding Wantagh to an appearance in the Nassau Class C girls’ lacrosse championship game in 2019, coach Robyn Rooney has high expectations for a team full of talent in all areas of the field.
“I think we have a chance to shock a lot of people,” Rooney said. “We’re hoping to walk off the field in the last game with a win. Only one team is fully happy at the end of the season and I want it to be our girls. We have the roster to do it.”
In an early statement game against perennial Class B powerhouse Manhasset, now a Class C contender, the Warriors won a thriller May 5, 13-12, on sophomore Madison Alaimo’s goal with 31 seconds left off a feed from junior Madison Taylor. Wantagh opened the season four days earlier and defeated Long Beach, 17-7, behind Taylor’s nine points (six goals, three assists) and senior Sabrina Caruso’s four goals.
“Our whole season is a test,” said Rooney, who noted the Warriors will play 13 games against Conference I opponents in just over a month’s time. “There are no easy games and we have to play as a unit,” she added.
In Taylor, a Northwestern commit, Rooney believes Wantagh boasts the top player on Long Island. As a freshman in 2019, Taylor recorded 47 goals and 59 draw controls. “She was our go-to player two years ago and continues to elevate her game,” Rooney said. “She’s impossible to guard and she’s even more dangerous as a feeder this year when defenses collapse on her.”
Taylor heads a deep and strong midfield that includes seniors Shae Insinga, Jillian Balkunis and Shannon Sullivan. Insignia is a key on draws as well as both ends of the field, Rooney said. “Shae is a special player still realizing her potential and getting confident,” the coach noted. Balkunis is the quarterback in the middle, a proven offensive weapon who makes everyone around her better, Rooney said. Sullivan is an explosive and gritty athlete who along with Balkunis, Caruso and several others helped Wantagh to a county championship in volleyball last month.
Caruso, who missed most of 2019 with a knee injury, is part of a revamped attack that has Rooney excited. “Sabrina is crucial to our attack and worked so hard to get back on the field,” she said. Caruso netted five goals against Manhasset. Alaimo, who had six assists in the win over Long Beach, is creative around the crease. Senior Leena Moussa is aggressive to the cage, and sophomore Eva Ingrilli is another threat.
In the defensive zone, it’s a senior-led unit headed by Rutgers University-bound MaKenna Boutin, the lone returning starter. Reilly Brady, Emma Gonsowski and Olivia Benedetto have solidified the effort in the back. In goal, sophomores Nicole Schammloffel and Lauren Rochel are splitting time, Rooney said. “Nicole is lefty, Lauren is righty and we’re confident both of them can do the job,” she said.

90,000 NHL player Andrey Svechnikov held a master class for high-mountain young hockey players
Pupils of Vysokogorsk ice hockey got the opportunity to train together with the current player of the National Hockey League Andrey Svechnikov. A hockey player who, by his 20s, was able to enter the history of the best league in the world twice. The Carolina Hurricanes striker did a full-fledged training session with the children, shared the secrets of his skill and showed his signature lacrosse goal.
The training of young hockey players has never caused such a stir.And this was not surprising, because the leader of the attacks of the Carolina Hurricanes, Andrey Svechnikov, was also going to go out on the ice with the children. True, he had a long way to the ice. Employees of the Ice Palace, parents of students of the hockey school and everyone who had the good fortune to attend the master class tried to be photographed with the star as a keepsake. And the famous hockey player had to have time to give autographs to everyone before the start of classes.
– In fact, this is an outstanding event for high-altitude hockey.It is very pleasant that such NHL stars come here and inspire young hockey players to become better and stronger. Playing hockey is generally very cool, – the parents of hockey players from the sports school “Biektau” shared their opinion about Andrey Svechnikov’s visit.
It is also great that, despite all his busyness, the hockey player managed to conduct a full training session and take part in all the exercises. It was a pleasure to watch the work of the master. Masterly possession of the club more than once caused an approving rumble of the audience.Naturally, the question arose of how such a master came to the Ice Palace in our region. The answer is simple enough. The grandfather of one of the young hockey players “Biektau” many years ago took his son to the “Ak Bars” school, where he played with Evgeny Svechnikov, Andrey’s elder brother.
– We have a family friend – uncle Albert, and his son Kamil Mingazov played with my brother Eugene on the same team. We discussed the arrival at the sports school “Biektau” for two years. And, of course, I said that I would definitely come and train the children, give them a small master class, maybe teach something, give some advice.It’s always a pleasure to come here and organize such events, ”said Andrei Svechnikov, striker of the Carolina Hurricanes NHL team.
The master class was held at the highest level. Andrey has gone down in NHL history twice. And the first time was so spectacular that connoisseurs of this sport will remember it for a long time. Svechnikov became the first player in NHL history to score a lacrosse goal. Anyone can admire this masterpiece by going to YouTube.
I could not resist asking the famous hockey player a question about how the idea of scoring lacrosse goals came about.
– I remember when I was 12. Then my brother and I trained together, and he threw the puck into the opponent’s goal in the lacrosse style during one of the trainings. I drove up to my brother and asked him to teach me this trick. Since then, I have studied at every training session, tried to do such a trick. Only in the course of persistent training is the result obtained. The most important thing is diligence and training, ”said Andrei Svechnikov, striker of the Carolina Hurricanes NHL team.
And their father Igor instilled diligence in the Svechnikov brothers.By the way, he came with his son, and we asked him to tell us about the secrets of raising champions.
– Patience, patience and more patience. And most importantly, the child should have a desire to work. Hence the success, – Igor Svechnikov shared his experience.
Looking at the shining faces of the guys who got to the master class with Andrey Svechnikov, it was immediately obvious that they would work even harder. Young hockey players immediately tried to repeat the historic goal, but it turned out to be not as easy as that of the recognized master.After this lesson, we can say with confidence that there are even more fans of Andrey’s talent in the Vysokogorsky district.
