In a recent field hockey match, the Carle Place team secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Cold Spring Harbor, thanks to a crucial goal scored by Emi Coronel, assisted by her sister Luna. The game took place during the Nassau Conference I contest, where the Frogs struggled to find their rhythm in the first three quarters despite numerous shot attempts. With only five minutes remaining, Luna executed a penalty corner play that led to Emi's decisive goal, which went through the goalie’s legs. This victory followed a strong week for Carle Place, where they had previously defeated two challenging opponents, Manhasset and Garden City. The team’s assistant coach praised the sisters' connection on the field, highlighting how their familiarity enhances their performance. Head Coach Elisse Frein noted the importance of this win as a reminder to avoid complacency, especially against a competitive team like Cold Spring Harbor. The Frogs have a history of reaching the state finals but have yet to secure a championship, motivating them to improve and maintain their energy as they progress through the season.
