Last week's poll: Who will you choose for Player of the Week?
Sophia Bueti, Fox Lane
The junior midfielder had a big week that included a milestone. In a win over Byram Hills, she beat the Bobcats to five balls off the draw to hit the 100-draw control mark for her varsity career. She also had two assists and got to three other ground balls. In a win over Carmel, Bueti had a goal and an assist, got two balls off the draw and picked up another two ground balls.
Annie Cunneen, Yorktown
The freshman midfielder put in eight goals during two Yorktown wins. In an 8-5 win over Somers, she scored four times and won the race to secure three ground balls, as well as another two off the draw. In a 7-4 win over upstate Shaker, Cunneen also netted four goals, got six balls off the draw, got possession of three ground balls and caused a Shaker turnover.
Keira Furey, Nyack
The senior goalie is a big reason the RedHawks are 9-1 on the season, undefeated in Section 1 play and have yielded just 64 goals. Committed to play at Division I Fairfield University next year, Furey, on Saturday, recorded her 500th career varsity save — a number few approach — during the RedHawks' first setback of the season, an 11-9 loss to an out-of-area squad.
Taylor Green, Pelham
The junior attacker scored 14 goals and had four assists over three games last week. With those stats, she moved into second place all-time in points for Pelham varsity girls lacrosse with 214.
Anna Kelly, Holy Child
The senior attacker/midfielder had a huge day in the Gryphons' 14-13 win over then-ranked Rye Country Day. Kelly scored six times, beat the Wildcats to two ground balls and grabbed six more balls off the draw.
Kiki Ottenheimer, Clarkstown North
The junior midfielder scored three goals and assisted on another as the Rams edged White Plains 5-4.
Brooke Pizzarello, Lakeland/Panas
Scoring 19 times over three games last week, the midfielder, a sophomore at Lakeland High, hit a couple of milestones. She had a career-high 10 goals in a win against North Salem and, during the week, surpassed 100 goals for her varsity career. Pizzarello also won the race to seven balls off the draw during that span.
Mary Sack, Rye
The junior midfielder had an eight-goal, six draw-win week, scoring four goals and winning the ball off three draws against both Bronxville and Ursuline. Sack's play, which included fine defensive efforts while assigned to cover opponents' top offensive threats, helped the Garnets beat Bronxville 13-9 and Ursuline 14-8. Both, like Rye, are locally-ranked teams.
Claire Tierney, Ardsley
The senior midfielder had six goals, one assist and won the race to 10 balls off the draw during a Panther win over Valhalla. Included in Tierney's goals was her 100th of her varsity career.
Ella Wendol, Putnam Valley
The midfielder hit the 100-point milestone for her varsity career last week, despite being only a freshman. She had four goals and two assists in the Tigers' win over Rye Neck and scored three times and had two assists in a win over Croton.
