Rondout Valley falls in state quarters
Rondout Valley's historical lacrosse run came to an end in a state Class C quarterfinal Saturday.
The Ganders fell to Section 1 champion Pleasantville 17-3 at Lakeland High School.
Sophomore Kyle Meoli had two goals and Patrick Gribbon one for Rondout Valley, which finished its season 16-4. Gabe Carbone had Rondout Valley's lone assist.
"They played faster and with more precision than we are accustomed to," Rondout Valley coach Tony Tocco said. "We kept telling the kids that. But, when they see a team like that on the field, it's a different story."
Pleasantville (19-1), which led 13-1 at halftime, advances to the state final four.
Rondout Valley was coming off a 6-2 victory over Greenwich on Wednesday. The win was Section 9's first state win since 2006.
