Rye High’s boys lacrosse team ended the regular season with a 9-7 win-loss record and a third-place finish among the area’s Class C schools, behind only John Jay and Tappan Zee.
It was a hard-fought victory: Despite jumping out to a 2-0 lead, Rye’s varsity baseball team required extra innings to secure their fifth-straight Section 1 quarterfinals appearance.
Rye dominated the Sailors from the opening whistle and led 8-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Garnets never looked back and won in convincing fashion, 19-5, advancing to the Section 1 Class C semifinals.
The three-sport star was asked to name the strengths she brings to each game. “I suppose I have a unique energy, … a grittiness … that comes out no matter what sport I’m playing,” Vanneck said.
The boys team’s last game of the regular season will be at home against Fordham Prep at 5 p.m. May 22. The players then head to a state tournament at Vassar College on June 8.
Since they have won 11 of their first 12 games this season, you might say Rye Country Day School’s girls lacrosse team has been dominating the competition.
Despite a slow start to the season, Rye High’s girls rugby team has improved tactically in recent weeks, as evidenced by recent victories over nearby New Rochelle as well as Connecticut and New Jersey schools.
