Bunga, Blazers breeze through Tuckahoe to advance to regional finals

CROSS RIVER – Serena Bunga has seen everything on the court in her time with the Millbrook girls volleyball team. Section championships, trips to the state final four and countless victories have been a part of the journey. It had been a while though, 2023 to be exact, since the senior relished in postseason success. She wasn't going to walk away without experiencing the joy of going deep into the postseason just one more time. Following up the team's Section 9 Class C championship the previous week, Millbrook showed its talent and resiliency once again by securing a 3-1 victory over Section 1's Tuckahoe in the New York State subregional at John Jay-Cross River on Wednesday afternoon, November 11. "It's something that we all really want to push towards and go to states again," Bunga said after the win, describing the team's determination. "We just think it's such an amazing feeling because our team is so close-knit. We love being with each other and playing with each other." The Blazers secured an early lead after a back-and-forth opening set and it looked as if the team was on its way to a sweep with a significant lead in the second.

A look at Mamaroneck and Lakeland's NYS field hockey semifinal games

Two Section 1 field hockey teams have made the state semifinals. Both Class A Mamaroneck and Class B Lakeland will play Section 4 teams Saturday at Arlington High School in Freedom Plains, hoping to qualify for Sunday's championship games, which Arlington will also host. Below is a capsule look at those games.

Windsor Central — Claire Beattie, Sr., MF/D; Ana Cartagegna, Fr., G; Elsie Conway, Jr., MF; Berkley Ingram, So., F/MF.Vienna McCombs, So., MF/D; Outlook: No matter what was said from preseason practice on about their one-game-at-a-time mentality, the Tigers had to have thought about the possibility of facing Windsor Central again in the postseason. Last year, it beat Mamaroneck 2-0 to win the state Class A final. That thwarted the Tigers' plan to three-peat as state champion. This came a couple of years after Mamaroneck, down 2-0 to Windsor late in the fourth quarter, tied the score and won in double overtime in the
