It was a unique second for the Garden City young men lacrosse crew as the players ran onto the turf at Hofstra's Shuart Stadium. 

A pillar in the Nassau end of the season games throughout the long term, the group hadn't played a game there starting around 2019 in light of the COVID pandemic.

Furthermore, on the off chance that the manner in which they played Friday is any pointer, the group could have essentially a couple of more season finisher games soon.

Michael Fargione had two objectives and two helps, Henry Gibbons and Aidan Considine each had two objectives and a help and Jay Ottomanelli had two objectives to lead the top-cultivated Trojans over No. 4 Long Beach, 13-5, in a Nassau Class B elimination round.

"It's truly unique playing here," Fargione said. "We missed it last year playing at Mitchel Field and going out east for the title. This is our subsequent home, we've generally said that and we're anticipating continuing on and playing more games here."

Garden City (15-2) came out flying. Gibbons scored both of his objectives in the primary 1:14 and when the game was five minutes old the Trojans held a 5-0 lead.

"Long Beach is an extraordinary group so it was vital that we leaped out on them," said Ottomanelli, who scored both of his objectives in the 6-0 first quarter. "We needed to keep the gas pedal down and there was no easing up."

Long Beach (10-7) replied with an objective by Joe Cieleski from the get-go in the second quarter however the Trojans went on another six-objective stumble into the second and third quarters to take care of the game.

Fargione covered the second six-objective run with an unassisted count with 4:36 left in the third.

"All of us are tied in with sharing the ball and not stressing over ourselves but rather agonizing over the group," Ottomanelli said. "We need to get all interested parties and offer the ball and make the right plays."

The Trojans have won nine in succession and will play the champ of Calhoun/MacArthur in the last at Hofstra on Wednesday, June 1 at 5:30 p.M.

"We're extremely difficult to shield since we can put six people out there that you need to stress over regardless of the ball," Garden City mentor Steve Finnell said. "You would rather not play perfect in March and flame out in May. I believe we're improving and we're attempting to get solid and we're wanting to convey it over to Wednesday in the last."
