| RANK | TEAM | REC | LW | COMMENTS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
1 | Tottenville | 18-0 | 1 |
Jill Giuffre and Nicole Fillisetti each drove in a pair of runs as the Pirates knocked off Construction, 9-1, to reach the PSAL final yet again. Next: No. 3 Susan Wagner, PSAL Class A final @ St. John’s (Wednesday, 6:30 p.m.) |
|
2 | St. Joseph by the Sea | 15-0 | 2 |
Kristy Colangelo’s diving grab in right field helped Sea seal a 1-0 win over Preston and clinch a sixth Archdiocesan title in eight years. Next: No. 4 Archbishop Molloy, CHSAA state semifinals @ Kellenberg (Wednesday, 1:30 p.m.) |
|
3 | Susan Wagner | 18-2 | 3 |
Taylor Sarcone tossed a four-hitter and Halle Siegel had three hits to pace Wagner to an 11-1 victory over Francis Lewis, booking the Falcons first trip to the finals since 1989. Next: No. 1 Tottenville PSAL Class A final @ St. John’s (Wednesday, 6:30 p.m.) |
|
4 | Archbishop Molloy | 13-2 | 5 |
Maria Palmeri went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and two runs scored and Taylor Moss went 4-for-4 with a walk, two RBIs and two runs scored as Molloy captured a fourth straight Brooklyn/Queens title. Next: No. 2 St. Joseph by the Sea, CHSAA state semifinals @ Kellenberg (Wednesday, 1:30 p.m.) |
|
5 | Preston | 13-2 | 4 |
The Panthers were a bloop single away from winning their first-ever Archdiocesan title. They’ll have plenty of chances with four freshmen on the roster and everyone but catcher Kitty Lajqi returning. Next: Season complete |
|
6 | St. Francis Prep | 9-6 | 6 |
The Terriers had late leads in both games of the Brooklyn/Queens Diocesan series, but failed to close out the games. Nicole Lomangino graduates, but the Prep returns plenty next year. Next: Season complete |
|
7 | Moore Catholic | 9-5 | 7 |
The Mavericks were hoping for another shot at rival St. Joseph by the Sea, but instead their season came to a disappointing conclusion with a 4-1 loss to Preston in the Archdiocesan semifinals. Next: Season complete |
|
8 | Construction | 19-2 | 8 |
The Red Hawks actually had a 1-0 lead after two innings, but then Tottenville scored four in the bottom of the third en route to a 9-1 semifinal win. Still, with Britney Rodriguez returning for her junior year, there’s plenty of reasons for Marco Migliaccio to be optimistic. Next: Season complete |
|
9 | Mary Louis | 7-6 | 9 |
The Hilltoppers were one strike away from a huge win over rival St. Francis Prep in the CHSAA Brooklyn/Queens Class AA softball semifinals. Instead the Terriers rallied to score twice to end Mary Louis’ season. Next: Season complete |
|
10 | Francis Lewis | 16-4 | 12 |
The Patriots beat Madison to book a second consecutive trip to the PSAL Class A semifinals, but for a second straight year Lewis was unable to reach the title game. Next: Season complete |
|
11 | McKee/Staten Island Tech | 14-5 | 11 |
The Seagulls reached the PSAL Class A quarterfinals, but suffered a 9-0 loss to Susan Wagner, the third time this year the Falcons came out on top. Next: Season complete. |
|
12 | James Madison | 16-3 | 10 |
It seems strange not to see James Madison in the PSAL final, but that’s the case after Francis Lewis bounced Brian Friedman’s squad in the quarterfinals. Next: Season complete |
|
13 | Bryant | 15-4 | 13 |
The Owls reached the PSAL Class A quarterfinals, but No. 1 Tottenville scored six runs in the third inning en route to an 11-0 victory. Next: Season complete. |
|
14 | DeWitt Clinton | 12-7 | 14 |
The Governors opened a lot of eyes with a deep run in the PSAL Class A playoffs, but it came to an end in the quarterfinals with a 3-2 loss to Construction. Next: Season complete |
|
15 | Fontbonne Hall | 6-8 | NR |
The Bonnies made a name for themselves in Brooklyn/Queens this year, beating eventual champion Archbishop Molloy during the regular season. Next: Season complete |
