A shutout that wasn’t necessarily a surprise to Evan Outwater. “We’re playing a lot harder competition this year,” he said. But the shots were still crisp and the rallies long, and despite the final tally, there was more to it for the Wolves.

Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons or my venmo is @Rich-Monetti Video v Sleepy Hollow and Somers On April 1, Riley Foote was unable to reach the second inning for John Jay’s home opener versus Sleepy Hollow. Walking in three in a four run first inning, Foote’s difficulty didn’t have Coach Steve DelMoro the least bit worried that half his starting rotation would be a question mark going forward. “One hundred percent,” he assured, “I have all the confidence in the world in her.” But it was still first things first, and Maria DeGaetano made sure the Horseman knew no one was looking ahead yet.

John Jay Wins Big Over Eastchester
Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons or my venmo is @Rich-Monetti A great beginning to the 2025 season already, the John Jay offense did start pretty slow on Monday, April 7 at Contest Field. Two sputtering drives, the girls had the luxury thanks to the defense. “Playing aggressive, putting pressure on the quarterback, forcing errors, that’s what we’ve been doing,” said Head Coach Jimmy Clark. And after Eastchester was the latest to find out, the John Jay offense caught up to the defense for good on possession three.

Please see tip, subscribe and pledge buttons below or my venmo is @Rich-Monetti It doesn’t matter the sport, you can’t score without the ball, but usually each side gets an equal share. Not the case in lacrosse, fortunes fall heavily on the men at midfield, and Matt Mayfield has long known the score in the circle. “It’s you against the other guy,” he said, and by game’s end, the ledger was far from balanced.
