Sachem East’s non-league victory over West Islip on Saturday was a ceremonious occasion.
It was Sachem alum and new boys lacrosse coach Connor Farrell’s first career coaching victory.
Sophomore goalie Colin Dellomo, featured in the images at the top of this story, earned his first win as starting goalie.
And let’s underscore that the win was against West Islip, a perennial Suffolk County Division II power.
Farrell is one of the top faceoff specialists in professional lacrosse. He stormed onto the Premier Lacrosse League scene after a multi-sport career at LIU Post.
Sachem East (1-1) hosts Huntington on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
