It has been a season of firsts for the Miller Place women's Lacrosse team this year. The team ended their regular season with an impressive 10-6 overall record and won 5 games in a row during the season, but this year will be remembered for the firsts that happened.
Olivia Coffey was one of those firsts when she scored her 100th career goal against Center Moriches. She didn't stop scoring all year long as she racked up 30 total goals and finished with a flurry scoring 7 goals in the final two games. Mirabella Altebrando followed that up with a new school record. Altebrando set the record with 10 assists in a single game against rival Port Jefferson. Altebrando ended the season with an eye popping 65 total assists and even chipped in 21 goals.
The year was filled with firsts and accomplishments on the field, but there was no bigger first than the first annual Matt LoNigro game. 'Matt' Game' as it has been dubbed was put in place to celebrate the legacy of Matt LoNigro. LoNigro passed away this year at the age of just 51. He was very involved in the Miller Place school district as the director of the Miller Place Lacrosse and was on the Board of Directors for Suffolk County PAL Lacrosse.
