Ward Melville's Lacrosse team, seeded no 2, advanced to the quarterfinals on Friday where they will likely lay Smithtown West, the 3rd seed. Hosting the game on their field, the APtriots defeated Northport 12-9. Tyler Hegarty, no 22, scored five goals in leading their scoring. The Patriots showed some rustiness after a long layoff from games. They will have to play better lacrosse Friday to advance to the County Finals.
