Are the Tuskers for real? Tuesday it very much seemed so as they shut out another top-10 team in Panas.
That game might have been judged a toss-up going in but not so with Lakeland-Brewster, nor Scarsdale-White Plains.
Undefeated Lakeland and one-loss Scarsdale (loss to Lakeland) beat up on their opponents by identical 9-0 scores.
Nyack picked up a big win despite Marissa Fortugno’s best efforts and Rye got by Harrison behind Fusine Govaert.
Recaps of those games and more from September 27 follow.
