SHS Lacrosse Team Wins Class A Championship: State Tourney Cancelled Due to Lightning Storm

For the second year in a row, the Scarsdale boys lacrosse team became the Class A boys lacrosse champions! Winning 12-7, Scarsdale took down the No. 1 seeded Mamaroneck team, again on May 27, 2022. As fans packed the bleachers at Lakeland High School the Scarsdale boys dominated the field, making the score 5-2 in just the first quarter.

Junior Nate Seslowe soared in this game, netting four goals and pressuring Mamaroneck to keep up with the fast pace rhythm of Scarsdale. “I knew this was the greatest time to shine,” he said. “I didn’t want to let my boys down. We’ve been looking forward to this game all season and I knew this was the time to make plays. It took more than me. We all played a complete 48 minutes and showed the section who we are.”

After losing 13 seniors last season, Scarsdale had something to prove this year. They showed the section that they can learn on the fly, and that they run a proper program with strong athletes who work hard on the field and off. Colby Baldwin was outstanding, collecting 18 faceoff wins. And his goal off the faceoff win further demoralized Mamaroneck. Goalie Andrew Lehrman made 14 saves, Graydon Diamond had 2 goals, Ryan Ornstein scored twice, Wade Massey and Rhett Needleman each had one goal.

On Wednesday night, 6/1, Scarsdale advanced to the subregional game against Kingston at Mamaroneck High School. A severe storm with rain, winds and lightning caused the game to be canceled with only five minutes to play in the third quarter, and the Raiders leading 13-5. The game will resume on Thursday June 2 at 4pm at Mamaroneck and if they win they play on Saturday in a regional final vs. Shenendehowa in Albany.
