For years, Riverhead\u2019s boys lacrosse team has taken some lumps. With many upperclassmen leaving the district following massive 2020 budget cuts \u2014 which eliminated virtually all funding for athletic programs \u2014 the Blue Waves tilted very young on varsity, fielding mostly sophomores and freshmen. Many of those underclassmen are now seniors. And it\u2019s their turn to do some lumping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such was the case Friday afternoon in a non-league game against Bellport. In front of a home crowd at Pulaski Street Complex, Riverhead dismantled Bellport, 17-2, for their second consecutive win to start the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re focused,\u201d Riverhead head coach Vic Guadagnino said. \u201cThey know that this is a big season. They want to make the most of it. We have some serious college commit guys looking to get it done. They want to make their teammates proud, their families proud and the town proud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of those seniors, Griffin Sumwalt, who has committed to the University of Massachusetts at Lowell in the fall, led the way against Bellport, scoring a game-high four goals. Through two games, he is Long Island\u2019s top scorer with 10 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to make the playoffs,\u201d Sumwalt said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming with this group. We have the right players. We just need to pull it together as a team and keep playing hard every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellow senior Zach Timpone was right in on the action as well, coming up with four assists on the day, connecting with sophomore attacker Logan Dempsey on three of them. Dempsey constantly rolled around the front of the net for easy feeds and capitalized when the time came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a bunch of seniors on the team but the younger guys like Dempsey are stepping up as well,\u201d Guadagnino said. \u201cWe need everyone\u2019s contribution if we\u2019re going to succeed as a team this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the goals were flying in at a furious rate, Riverhead\u2019s defense didn\u2019t give up an inch. Led by Binghamton University-bound Danny Healy, the Blue Waves didn\u2019t give up a goal until late in the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the first year we\u2019ve had a really heavy senior class,\u201d Healy said. \u201cI am really hoping we can put it all together. We have all the parts for a successful team. The attack, the midfield, the defense, the goalie. We all have belief in one another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophomore goalkeeper Dillon Zaleski will be a major piece of the puzzle going forward as he directs the defense and comes up with crucial, timely saves. He stopped seven shots against Bellport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is Zaleski\u2019s second year on varsity,\u201d Guadagnino said. \u201cHe puts in a lot of work in the offseason and works tirelessly at his craft. He\u2019s only going to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though vibes are high to start the season, the Blue Waves have so far faced less talented opponents. The true test will come when they get into the heart of their league season<\/a>, which got off to a rocky start Tuesday with a 14-3 loss to perennial powerhouse Ward Melville.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Riverhead\u2019s route to making the playoffs for the first time since 2019<\/a> is crystal clear: win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have to beat the teams that are right in front of us that we were close with last year but couldn\u2019t get past,\u201d Guadagnino said. \u201cLike the South Fork teams, Patchogue-Medford, Middle Country, [William] Floyd, Commack. If we pick off those teams we\u2019ll be right in the mix.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
