Here&#8217;s a look at what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Riverhead Girls Volleyball (9-5 League I)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riverhead made the playoffs for <a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2023\/10\/117881\/riverhead-girls-volleyball-team-makes-playoffs-for-the-first-time-since-2013\/\">the first time in a decade<\/a> but that\u2019s not enough for the Blue Waves. After securing the playoff berth with a win over Central Islip, the Blue Waves got two more massive victories in the last two games of the season to help convince the seeding committee they deserved a higher seed. None was more impressive than the 3-2 victory over Patchogue-Medford (11-3 League I) to close out the season. It\u2019s a perfect time to capitalize on the momentum going into playoffs where there\u2019s no more days off \u2013 every team has talent and every point means something. Riverhead earned the No. 9 seed in the Section XI \u201cAAA\u201d bracket and will travel to No. 8 Longwood on Monday for&nbsp;a 5 p.m.&nbsp;start. Longwood (9-5 League I) has had Riverhead\u2019s number in the two matchups during the season, coming away with victories in both games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We cannot be complacent at any point,&#8221; Riverhead head coach Rose Horton said. &#8220;We must stay hungry the entire match. We&#8217;ve got to remember that the team comes before ourselves but when it&#8217;s our turn to execute, we must do so unapologetically.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top performers in last final games combined:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adriana Martinez, 52 assists<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Claire Normoyle, 21 kills<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucia Mannetta, 18 kills, 5 blocks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kaysee Mojo, 20 kills<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SWR Field Hockey (12-2 Division II)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind first year coach Kim Hannigan, Shoreham-Wading River went on an unprecedented run to start the season, surging to a flawless 10-0 record before finally losing 4-0 to Eastport-South Manor on October 4. The final stretch of the season proved the toughest as the Wildcats had to play Harborfields, Rocky Point and East Hampton \u2013 all of which qualified for the playoffs. SWR got back in a groove with one-goal wins over Harborfields and Rocky Point before losing their second game of the season to East Hampton. Their success earned them the No. 3 seed and a first round home playoff game in the Section XI \u201cB\u201d Bracket. They&#8217;ll face off against No. 6 Harborfields&nbsp;on Tuesday at 6:30. In their matchup during the season, the Wildcats snuck by, earning a 1-0 victory with a fourth quarter goal scored by Haylie Abrams. Despite only scoring one goal, SWR forced 9 saves out of the Harborfields goaltender, Lily Viscusi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to have to play smart,\u201d Hannigan said, entering the final stretch of the season. \u201cPossessing the ball will be key. We need to move the ball well into the corners. Most importantly we cannot lose our focus out there. The mental game is just as important as the physical part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top performers this season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maddi Herr, 16 goals, 9 assists<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sophia Minnion, 7 goals, 8 assists<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haylie Abrams, 8 goals, 5 assists<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katie Monaghan, 7 goals, 5 assists<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maggie Anderson, 56 saves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SWR Boys Soccer (9-3 League VIII)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoreham-Wading River stayed undefeated through the first 10 games of the year. They looked unstoppable \u2013 winning on lopsided scores game after game. But the month of October wasn\u2019t as kind. The Wildcats lost three games in a row to Center Moriches, John Glenn and Hampton Bays before finishing the season with a 6-0 victory over Southampton. Those nail-biting, one goal losses hurt their chances of getting the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. That\u2019s just how soccer works sometimes, goals don\u2019t always find the back of the net when you need them to. Good news is, the end of the season is behind them. SWR gets a fresh start in the playoffs. The records mean nothing. The best team will win out and the Wildcats are more than capable as evidenced by their dominant start to the season. SWR earned the No. 5 seed in the Section XI \u201cA\u201d bracket and will travel to No. 4 Amityville on Wednesday for&nbsp;a 2:30 p.m.&nbsp;start.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m as comfortable as ever with the team we put out there,\u201d Rob Mancuso said, during the winning streak. \u201cWe need to continue to work hard and keep that dedication even when things don\u2019t break our way. This team absolutely has it in them to make a run in the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top performers this season:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sam Palmer, 7 goals, 8 assists&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex Makarewicz, 9 goals, 4 assists<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andrew Stiene, 5 goals, 1 assist<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Worthington, 4 goals<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kyle Rose, 79 saves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SWR Girls Soccer (10-2-2 Division III)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reigning Suffolk County champions are back for another shot at greatness. Shoreham-Wading River, despite losing most of last season&#8217;s starting lineup, retooled with a handful of younger players and put together a <a href=\"https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/2023\/10\/117859\/shoreham-wading-rivers-win-streak-ends-with-tough-road-loss-against-islip\/\">magnificent season<\/a> that saw them finish second in Division III with 156.47 power ranking points. Because of their tough schedule, being the preseason No.1 seed, they finished higher than some of their opponents even though they had more losses. The Wildcats earned the No. 2 seed in Section XI\u2019s \u201cA\u201d bracket and will play No. 7 Center Moriches at home on Tuesday. The two teams faced off in late September and played to a 1-1 tie. Center Moriches (7-4-3) went into halftime leading 1-0 before freshman Shealyn Varbero scored on a pass from Mia Mangano to tie the game in the second half. SWR will be without star defender Grace Hillis as the senior got injured in the last game of the season. Their defense is what has stood out most. They\u2019ll need their younger players to step up for a chance at another county crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe graduated a lot last year,\u201d SWR head coach Adrian Gilmore said at the end of the season. \u201cWe have younger girls stepping into bigger roles and we need to get the most out of them to succeed against the top teams in the division.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top performers this season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mia Mangano, 9 goals, 5 assists<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivia Pesso, 4 goals, 9 assists<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grace Hillis, 7 goals, 5 assists<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shealyn Varbero, 7 goals, 2 assists&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morgan Lesiewicz, 32 saves&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Riverhead Boys Golf (10-0 League VII)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After putting together another undefeated season in the league and winning their conference championship, Riverhead has its sights set on their first Suffolk County title in school history. Because of the difficulty of the courses they played and the scores they produced, out of all the league champions, Riverhead was chosen as the No. 1 seed in the tournament. They will host the winner of the No. 17 vs. No. 18 matchup at Cherry Creek Links&nbsp;on October 30.&nbsp;Tee time slated for&nbsp;3pm. The starting lineup is filled with mostly seniors, and experience is paramount when going against the top schools in Suffolk County. The top six golfers are only separated by a stroke or two and any one of them is capable of having the best round on a given day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor us to win it all we will need to focus on one opponent at a time,\u201d Riverhead head coach Steve Failla said. \u201cWe need to be flexible enough to play our best golf when our routine changes. And we have to recognize that we get better or we get worse. No athlete stays the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting lineup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Colby Baran, 36.88 scoring avg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mark Gajowski, 37.22 <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Griffin Sumwalt, 38.11 <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zach Timpone, 38.22 <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jaxson Hubbard, 38.44 <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Luke Richard, 39 <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SWR Girls Volleyball (6-4 League VI)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After an up-and-down season, Shoreham-Wading River snuck into the playoffs with some key victories down the final stretch. The senior-heavy group has the experience necessary to be a factor in the postseason. Behind foreign exchange student Giorgia Balza, who hails from Italy, the Wildcats have a formidable frontline to give any opponent problems. They will travel to No. 2 seeded Sayville (10-2 League VI) on Tuesday with game time slated for&nbsp;5 p.m. The two teams didn\u2019t play each other during the regular season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A handful of area high school teams are gunning for post-season glory.
