(Last week's rankings in parentheses)
1. St. Anthony’s (1)
With a 16-3 win over Stepinac — leading 10-0 at halftime — the spring season is almost over for St. Anthony’s (11-4). The Friars take a four-game winning streak into the long-awaited CHSAA Class AAA state championship game against Chaminade Wednesday at Hofstra.
2. Chaminade (2)
A 15-5 loss to Delbarton Sunday afternoon was by far the most lopsided loss of the season for the Flyers. Chaminade (13-4) responded with 13-10 and 17-12 wins over Connecticut powerhouses Wilton and Darien, respectively. Now Chaminade will look to snap St. Anthony’s run of six straight state titles.
3. Garden City (3)
One game, one dominant win for Garden City (13-1). The Trojans beat Long Beach, 14-3, and will face Plainedge and Bethpage next week to round out the regular season before they kick off another playoff run.
4. Massapequa (4)
Massapequa (12-2) showed a lot of character this week, battling back to beat Farmingdale, 16-8. It’ll face Darien and Syosset — two tough opponents — to round out the regular season this week.
5. Syosset (5)
A 12-9 win against Port Washington continues good form for Syosset (12-2) against its fellow Nassau Class A teams. Kellenberg and Massapequa await this week, with the latter serving as a battle for Nassau’s top seed.
6, Wantagh (6)
Devin Paccione’s goal and nine assists in a 16-11 win over Seaford brings the star senior’s point total to an absurd 99. He’ll look to crack triple digits against Plainedge in the regular-season finale for Wantagh (11-3), which looks like the clear favorite in Long Island’s Class C.
7. Cold Spring Harbor (9)
A 17-2 win over Friends Academy resulted in 12 Seahawks recording a point, with eight players having multiple points. Cold Spring Harbor (11-3) will face Long Beach Tuesday night before an exciting finish against Farmingdale Friday.
8. Northport (8)
Northport (12-2) enjoyed some retribution with its 12-9 win over Half Hollow Hills, which defeated the Tigers in the Suffolk Class A final a year ago. Add in a win against Whitman, and Northport takes a six-game winning streak into an awesome clash with Sachem North Tuesday before its regular season ends at Patchogue-Medford.
9. Farmingdale (7)
Farmingdale (10-4) suffered an eight-goal loss to Massapequa in a game it held a 6-2 lead in. The Dalers will look to snap a two-game skid when they host Port Washington Tuesday night before wrapping up the regular season at Cold Spring Harbor.
10. Manhasset (10)
Manhasset (10-4) snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Connecticut’s Ridgefield, 10-8, and followed it with a dominant 15-1 win over Bethpage. Only John Jay and Seaford remain before Manhasset begins its postseason campaign.
On the cusp: Sachem North, South Side, Ward Melville, Smithtown East, Comsewogue
