Nassau Top 10 (as of April 8)

Here goes it...

1. Garden City (4-0)
They're just doing what they does. (Grammatically incorrect, but it just sounds right.) The Trojans, winners of 52 straight, have outscored their last three opponents 54-7. I'm far from a mathematician, but the ol' abacus says that's impressive.

2. Farmingdale (5-0)
The Dalers have looked to be in fine form since that slow first half against Wantagh in the season-opener. Farmingdale has averaged 19.2 goals per game in its last four and 17.8 overall. They're actually ahead of last season's pace. The Dalers will face their first outta-town opponent on Monday, hosting Penfield at 4:30 p.m.  

3. Wantagh (4-1)
The Warriors further validated the jump to No. 3 with their 12-11 win over Manhasset last week. It was a back-and-forth second half and Cassidy Meaney's goal with 1:06 left was the difference. Wantagh has some tough'uns coming up next week against North Shore and Bay Shore - just more opportunities to prove themselves.

4. Manhasset (4-2)
They rebound from the loss to Wantagh with a 10-9 overtime win against Maryland's Notre Dame Prep. Halle Majorana (two goals) scored the winner with 20 seconds left in OT. Julia Glynn scored three goals and Kelsey Quackenbush made nine saves.

5. Massapequa (4-1)
The Chiefs followed up their come-from-behind win over West Babylon with a dominant showing against rival Port Washington on Wednesday. Maddy Pimental and Kelsey O'Brien each scored five goals in the 18-8 win. // But, more importantly, the teams succeeded in raising attention and funds for Keira Enright, a first-grader recently diagnosed with leukemia. Good job all around and best wishes for Keira.

6. North Shore (5-1)
The Vikings lost a tough one, 16-15, to Sacred Heart last week. North Shore led 10-7 at halftime but the Spartans rallied and Maggie Comiskey's goal with 6:20 left gave them the lead. It was only a non-league game, but it certainly would have been a big win over a very good opponent. North Shore has another crack at a great team, facing Wantagh on April 12.

7. Seaford (6-1)
Seaford makes its debut in the top 10 after a lights-out performance against Locust Valley last week. Amelia Taylor had five goals and three assists and Emma Schait scored eight goals in the 17-12 win. The Vikings are tied for first at 3-0 in Conference C.

8. Port Washington (3-1)
Port Washington suffered a setback with its 18-8 loss to Massapequa last week and drops a bit in the ranking.

9. Syosset (5-1)
The Braves make their way in after going 2-0 last week with wins over Commack and Hicksville. Morgan Lannig, Delaney O'Keefe and Jackie Cuddy each had two goals and Meg Gulmi made 10 saves in the 10-4 victory over the Comets.

10. Floral Park (6-1)
The Knights jump in after wins last week over Bethpage and New Hyde Park. That, and they've got a nice record are doing well so far after the jump up to Class B. Jocelyn Penteck had five goals, including the deciding score, in their 10-9 win over NHP. And, perhaps more impressive, the Floral Park defense became the first to keep the Gladiators from double-figures. Erin Lauria had 10 saves in the win.

On the cusp: South Side, Cold Spring Harbor, Long Beach, Locust Valley
