Court case in Mamaroneck death, stabbing adjourned

CROSSING THAT BRIDGE The possibility of a soundlink connecting Long Island to Westchester County took another step forward, as several companies have expressed interest in taking on the large-scale development project. For more, see page 9.

Village to conduct energy audit of 4 municipal buildings With the help of an outside contractor, the village of Mamaroneck is looking to increase energy efficiency at several of its major municipal buildings. The contract, signed with Bright Energy, who is being paid $25 845, will audit four village facilities, including municipal office buildings on 123 Mamaroneck Ave., the village Department of Public Works garage offices, the Village Courthouse and a pavilion at Harbor Island Park. The village Board of Trustees unanimously agreed to the

contract during its April 23 meeting. Specifically, Bright Energy will look at those facilities’ operations, electrical and mechanical systems, designs, maintenance practices, and then identify where the village could improve. Those improvements will eventually be tagged with cost estimates. The audit will mark a continuation of several other energy efficiency initiatives launched by the village that have taken place over the last several years, including the installation

of LED streelights; the purchase of a sanitation of truck that runs on vegetable oil as well as the purchase of a zero-emission municipal vehicle; and the conversion of some village buildings from oil to gas. Bright Energy has worked previously with the village, assisting in the installation of LED streetlights, when the reviewed all of the village’s equipment and issued recommendations. Likewise, the town of Mamaroneck has also taken a more aggressive approach to making its communities greener through

energy efficiency and taking advantage of state grants. In 2016, the town was one of two communities in the entire state awarded the designation of a “Climate Smart Community” by the state Department of Environmental Conservation for its efforts in cutting down energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Bright Energy is expected to begin its audit in the next several weeks and will aim to have it completed eight weeks from that start date. -Reporting by James Pero

Cynthia Arce, who is being investigated in connection with the death of her daughter Gabriella Boyd following a violent confrontation with police, will appear in village of Mamaroneck court next week. At the request of Arce’s attorney and due to her injuries, the case will be adjourned until May 17, according to Westchester County District Attorney Anthony Scarpino. Meanwhile, county police and the District Attorney’s office will continue to investigate the charges brought against Arce, which include two counts of aggravated attempted murder of village police officers. On April 27, Arce, 28, attacked two officers with a knife after they responded to a 911 call saying that a toddler—Boyd, age 2—needed medical attention at her Chestnut Avenue home in Mamaroneck. It remains unclear who made the 911 call. When officers arrived on the scene and attempted to intervene, Arce slashed one officer in the hand. Tasers were deployed but failed to bring Arce down and police eventually shot her; she remains hospitalized, as of press time. Boyd was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after. According to Scarpino, a pending autopsy of Boyd will have a significant impact on what

direction the case takes. The events will also be investigated by the Child Fatality Review Team, an agency that combines members of the county departments of Health and Social Services, the medical examiner, doctors and state officials, who will review the cause of the fatality and recommend methods of prevention. “This is going to take weeks if not months, if it’s to be done right,” Scarpino said in a statement. “And this office is committed to getting justice for the child and family, as well as all others involved.” The day before Boyd died, police attempted to enforce a court order granting Boyd’s father, Steven Boyd, temporary custody of his daughter, but when Steven Boyd arrived with police at Arce’s house on April 26, she refused to give them the child, barricading herself in the house. It is unclear why the officers did not to enter the house and remove the child. Details of the encounter, which took place on April 27, have been sparse as village police are referring all inquiries to Village Attorney Robert Spolzino, who could not be reached for comment. Police say that the responding officers did act within procedural guidelines in their handling of the incident. -Reporting by James Pero

NASA astronomer sparks interest in cosmos

Students from Rye Neck Middle School and Rye Neck High School welcomed renowned astronomer and research scientist Dr. Michelle Lynn Thaller to their school on April 27. Speaking before an audience of close to 60 budding scientists, Thaller, who is the assistant director for science communication at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, discussed a variety of topics that ranged from black holes and life on other planets to the formation of solar systems. Joseph Perlman, a high school math teacher and the schools’ Math Department chairman, coordinated Thaller’s visit to spark the students’ interest in unique science paths and help provide them with further insight into the field. “Science is not only cool, but there are hundreds of applications of it,” Perlman said. “Astronomy

and cosmology incorporate almost every facet of science and mathematics for one singular purpose—to find life elsewhere. Dr. Thaller’s component about the possible indirect discovery of some life form based on reduced gasses in certain areas was pretty cool.” Throughout her discussion, Thaller answered students’ questions and shared real-life photographs of Earth and other planets, which were taken by NASA. She also discussed how black holes form, talked about the possibility of humans landing on Mars and ways students can prove that Earth is not flat. “What stood out most for me, as a math teacher, was her constant use of the word ‘proof,’” Perlman said. “We do proofs in geometry and the normal criticism from students is that they never need this.

But Dr. Thaller discussed how they prove there is liquid water on a planet millions of miles away and how they can prove facts indirectly by elimination.” Peter Nicholas, a Rye Neck eighth-grader who conducts research on his own and enjoys reading scientific books, said he has a genuine interest in math and physics. “Science explores the unknown,” he said. “There are so many interesting theories out there and so much science that still needs to be proven, but I think in the next century we can solve all of these problems.” Thaller’s visit was part of Rye Neck’s collaboration between the Math and Science departments to foster continued interest in science, technology, engineering and math, STEM, related fields.

Police find missing Rye teen in Connecticut A Rye teenager that went missing earlier this week was found near the Byram River in Greenwich, Connecticut, according to the city public safety commissioner. Rye City Public Safety Commissioner Michael Corcoran said Alexander “Alec” Leishman, 16, was found on May 8 after he went missing the night before. Police said Leishman has been suffering from severe de-

pression and made prior threats about hurting himself. Originally, Rye police thought the 16-year-old was on his way to New York City. According to Corcoran, the Westchester County and Greenwich police departments assisted in safely locating Leishman. As of press time, there is no further information on what caused the teen to go missing. -Reporting by Franco Fino

CPW hosts 6th annual autism walk On Wednesday, May 2, Cerebral Palsy of Westchester hosted its 6th Annual Autism Awareness Walk at the United Preschool in White Plains. CPW celebrated the month of April being National Autism Awareness Month and ended the month with its preschool students hosting a walk. The walk began at 10:30 a.m. and all of the children had on matching blue shirts and fun-colored sunglasses. With music playing, the students walked a couple of laps with smiles on their faces. A visit by the White Plains Fire Department made the day extra special. The kids were excited

and happy to come together for the annual awareness walk. “A Pieces of Hope Tree” was created and is on display at the preschool. The tree is filled with personalized puzzle pieces that were purchased to raise money for their autism services. Custom designed by our students, this tree will raise awareness for all children and young adults who benefit from CPW’s autism services. CPW serves many children and young adults with autism and offers special programming for them and their families. Our

“Saturday Explorers” program provides many opportunities that benefit our attendees such as increased socialization through structured play, helping to increase learning through one-onone interaction with a staff person, and increasing attention spans by changing activities often to keep the attendees interested and learning. The program also incorporates CPW’s Lekotek program which provides a way to learn during play sessions that are facilitated in an environment that promotes interactive play among family members.

Ossining film series

offers screenings of Hudson River shorts Ossining Documentary and Discussion Series to host free screening of Jon Bowermaster’s “Hope on the Hudson,” three short films delivering good news about our mighty river: “City on the Water,” “Seeds of Hope” and “Restoring the Clearwater,” followed by a panel discussion. The event will take place at the Ossining Public Library at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 17. Seating begins at 6:15 p.m, admission is free, and a panel discussion will follow with three local professionals intimately involved with the stories being told. “Jon Bowermaster recently said his previous series ‘River at Risk,’ left him feeling ‘bummed out,’” said Paul Stark, an Ossining Documentary and Discussion Series committee member. “We’re very happy to screen these films, which deliver good news about good people doing good work.” Summaries of the three short films: “City on the Water”: With 520-miles of waterfront,

New York City truly is a water city. Tunnels and bridges deliver people over and under the water, to such a degree some have dubbed the waterways that encircle the city “the sixth borough.” The film focuses on efforts to clean-up New York City’s waterways and make them more accessible. “Restoring the Clearwater”: For nearly a year the historic sloop Clearwater was out of the water being restored. The film tells the story of the ship’s restoration and return to the Hudson River. Built under the leadership of Pete Seeger, the Clearwater continues to fulfill Pete’s mission, educating hundreds and roaming America’s ‘First River.’ “Seeds of Hope”: From planting to harvest during 2017 the film documents a unique effort to save several varieties of Native American seeds nearly gone extinct. The project is a multi-year effort to preserve both Native American culture and a rich agricultural heritage, the combined effort of the Hudson

Valley Farm Hub, Hudson Valley Seed Library and the Akwesasne of northern New York. Every month panelists with expertise in the film’s subject matter generously volunteer to help shed light on the issues raised. Audience members are encouraged to respond honestly and ask their questions. The panel for this film consists of: Erin Doran, staff attorney at Riverkeeper; Brooke Pickering-Cole, director of Hudson Valley Farm Hub; and Eli Schloss, Tideline program director for Clearwater. The Ossining Documentary and Discussion Series is organized by a committee of volunteers committed to bringing their “community together one film at a time.” This will be the group’s 57th screening since its founding in 2013 by Victoria Gearity, mayor of the village of Ossining and Suzie Ross, chairwoman of Green Ossining. The public is invited to visit OssiningDocumentaries.org to learn about more upcoming films on a wide variety of topics. (Submitted)

Yonkers scores Westchester’s best tap water Westchester’s best-tasting water flows from faucets in the city of Yonkers, according to an impartial panel of pedestrians who sipped their way through the Westchester County Department of Health’s annual water taste test in White Plains this week. On May 9, 276 people sampled water from 10 of the county’s public water suppliers on Martine Avenue in White Plains

and then voted for their favorite water without knowing where it was from. This friendly annual competition promotes the excellent quality of Westchester tap water, and highlights the role of the county health department in assuring drinking water quality. “We all win, because Westchester’s drinking water tastes great and is good for you,” County Executive George Latimer

said. “It’s reassuring to know we have professionals working behind the scenes to maintain and assure the high quality of our drinking water.” For the second year in a row the Yonkers Water Supply will advance to a regional competition this summer. The regional champion will ultimately compete for statewide bragging rights at the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse at the end of the summer. The experts say a good glass of water should be clean, crisp, clear and cool. The county health department and the water suppliers sample the waters routinely to ensure all quality standards are met. The county’s health department and the water suppliers sample the public waters routinely, and all contest participants meet all water quality standards. Water systems are required to take routine samples of their water and provide the results of those samples to the health department.

6 developers interested in Long Island Sound tunnel Historic 40 Ocean Ave. home temporarily saved By FRANCO FINO Staff Writer Six developers have expressed their desire to build a tunnel that would connect either the city of Rye or the village of Port Chester to Long Island, according to an elected official in Nassau County. Bayville Deputy Mayor Joe Russo, one of several elected officials on Long Island opposed to constructing the tunnel, said that he has been notified by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office that six independent parties responded to the state Department of Transportation, DOT, request for expressions of interest, REOI. The DOT issued the request in late January, seeking input from private investors on engineering, environmental, operations and financial considerations for a future proposal. An REOI is used to assess interest in a project and to solicit ideas and information from interested parties. “We are taking another step to advance an ambitious project that would reduce traffic on the impossibly congested Long Island Expressway, improve connectivity and help ensure the region’s future economic competitiveness,” Cuomo said in January about the proposal. According to a DOT study, an 18-mile tunnel connecting Westchester County and Long Island could cost between $31.5 billion and $55.4 billion, and could potentially produce $500 million in tolls annually. While the project is being met with outrage from several municipalities on Long Island that have formed a consortium to fight the governor’s proposal, communities in Westchester have

also started to ramp up efforts to scrutinize the plan. The Rye City Council created an ad hoc Long Island Tunnel Advisory Committee in February to oversee the proposal, which suggests connecting the city to the town of Oyster Bay on Long Island, among other locations. “This project is still a long way away, but of course Rye’s concern is great,” Rye City Mayor Josh Cohn, a Democrat, said in February. Historically, city officials have always opposed plans to build a tunnel from Rye to Long Island. There have been several proposals to build either a bridge or a tunnel connecting two of New

York’s most populated counties since the 1930s. In the 1960s, master builder Robert Moses and former Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, a Republican, pursued building a Rye-Oyster Bay bridge; however, the plan never materialized after facing opposition from local and state-elected officials in Westchester and Nassau counties. In February, Port Chester also created a committee to examine the plan’s potential environmental, traffic and density impacts. As of press time, there is no further information from the governor’s office on the state’s next plan of action. CONTACT: franco@hometwn.com

An historic home on Ocean Avenue in Larchmont will live to see another day—at least for now—after the Planning Board called for a full environmental review of a proposal to demolish the structure. File photos

An historic home located in Larchmont will, at least temporarily, escape demolition after a village Planning Board decision issued last month. The demolition of a more than century-old home at 40 Ocean Ave., was declared a significant environmental impact by the Planning Board on April 17 forcing the plan to undergo a more stringent environmental review, specifically, a full environmental impact statement, EIS. Preserve Larchmont, a group active since 2015 that has been dedicated to stemming the tide of what they see as overdevelopment throughout the village, applauded the board’s decision to require a full EIS. “Preservation takes perseverance,” the group said in a statement. The home, known to residents as “the orchard,” dates back to the late 1800s and holds a piece of history through both its sheer age and its brush with fame; screenwriter, cartoonist and film producer Paul Terry, who created the iconic cartoon character Mighty Mouse, once owned the house. The full review by the developer KOSL Building Group will likely take several months to complete and will be the next step before a final ruling is made by the Planning Board on wheth-

er to allow for the home to be demolished. While an original plan—which has since been retracted—would have demolished the on-site?] structures and subdivided the property into four separate buildings, it’s not clear that KOSL will pursue the same plan, first telling the Planning Board that they would leave the lot empty, only to later admit that they may sell it. The private residence, which has existed on the Ocean Avenue property for 120 years, sparked a full-on movement in 2016 when residents protested its potential demolition in droves.

As a result, the village Board of Trustees in conjunction with its land use boards and the help of a hired consultant, passed a moratorium on residential development and undertook a holistic revamp of its zoning and planning laws that were eventually passed last year. Among the new laws and regulations are altered tenants on tree removal, subdivision, setback and soil grading; all of which are meant to curb a growing trend of subdivision and demolitions in the village’s residential neighborhoods. -Reporting by James Pero

Library’s 1968 exhibit a big success As part of the “One Book— One Community” reading initiative that took place throughout April, the Larchmont Public Library hosted a unique art exhibit featuring works in numerous media by more than 40 members of the Larchmont and Mamaroneck communities in the library’s Oresman Gallery. A reception was held in the gallery on Saturday, April 7, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. which was well attended by people from Larchmont and surrounding communities and included a visit from Westchester County Executive George Latimer. As tumultuous a decade as 1968 was, it is also known for its impact on the art world. “Pop Art” became tremendously invogue that year and people like Andy Warhol were very much in the spotlight. The works that were featured in the exhibit either depicted specific events from 1968 or were created in styles that were popular in the late -1960s. The exhibit was unlike any other that the library has hosted as many of the pieces on display have been created specifically for this showing. Each of the artists had a story to tell about their work and what guided them to create it. Regina Gelfer, The BEATLES trip to India, said, “The work is inspired—as much of my work i—by the Beatles and the impact they had not only on music but on the culture of the time. They were pioneers in changing the way we viewed sound, fashion, philosophies and mindset. In February 1968, the Beatles travelled to India to study Transcendental Med-

itation with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.” Tapani Talo, John Mayall “Turning Point” album cover, said, “I took the original photograph in the fall of 1967 in Helsinki, Finland, where I lived. I graphically processed it in 1968 and I loved the result. When John Mayall came to Finland on tour I gave a copy of my image to him. He asked if he could use it and it became the image for his album ‘The Turning Point.’ The next year, when he again was touring in Finland, he said I should be sure to send something to him, and it became [the] image used for the ‘USA Union’ album cover. The connections I made due to these images led to employment with the Rolling Stones in 1973.

I worked for the Stones for five years as a sound engineer before pursuing architecture.” Charles Seton, Abbie Hoffman and cheeseburger, said, “In 1970, Abbie Hoffman spoke at Mamaroneck High School in my Social Studies class. He was wearing the shirt made out of an American flag, which he had been arrested in. The daughter of William Kunstler, who defended the Chicago Seven in 1968, was a teaching assistant at MHS, and had helped to get him to speak to us. I was a student. This was one of my first jobs, and one of my first published photos.” Gregory Shapiro, composition No. 6, said, “This geometric composition No. 6 was painted in Leningrad (Saint Petersburg) and inspired by the two Russian avant garde artists: Kazimir Malevich, the founder of Suprematism and Lyubov Popova, one of the first female pioneers in Cubo-Futurism. I was proud of being a part of the unofficial Soviet Nonconformist Art movement in [the] 1960-70s.” These are but a few of the stories that were told through these artist’s portrayals of the late 1960s and there are many more. The exhibit was made possible through the sponsorship of the Friends of the Larchmont Public Library and was curated by artist Diane Davis. (Submitted)

Last week Westchester County lawmakers joined members of a disgruntled labor union in protesting the firing of seven custodial workers; a move they claim was a breach of county law. Three Democratic members of the county Board of Legislators, joining representatives of the Service Employees International Union, SEIU, rallied outside of an office building in White Plains at 234-235 Main St., on Tuesday, May 2, to condemn the building’s developer Caspi Development Company, CDC, and Integrated Building Management, the new building managers who were responsible for the firings. Workers have already filed a lawsuit against both CDC and Integrated Building Management, claiming that the move violated a law passed in Westchester in 2013 stipulating janitorial workers must be kept employed by new management for 60 days after any transition. “I am very disturbed by the firing of these workers and of CDC’s subsequent behavior,” county Legislator MaryJane Shimsky, a Hastings-on-Hudson Democrat, said. “There may be a violation of the displaced workers law, and there are serious allegations of unfair labor practices. CDC and Caspi have refused to

County lawmakers banded with a local union chapter last week to protest the firing of seven janitorial workers in White Plains.

discuss the matter with anyone who has reached out to them.” According to a statement from the county Board of Legislators, both lawmakers and workers attempted to deliver a letter airing their grievances with CDC but were stopped briefly by police. Eventually county Majority Leader Catherine Parker, a Rye Democrat, was allowed to enter the building with the letter but CDC refused to accept it. Lawmakers claim the company has since been non-responsive. A release from lawmakers also states that National Labor Relations Board will investigate whether the workers were fired due to their union affiliation, a federal offense.

According to a final draft of the law—called the Displaced Service Worker Protection Act— it is meant to protect workers whose livelihood may be vulnerable to sweeping and sometimes sudden management changes. The SEIU, which has 120,000 members nationwide, consists of janitors, residential service workers, security officers and food service workers in commercial office buildings, government facilities, and schools and universities. There are more than 4,000 members in Westchester. The cities of Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York City have also passed similar laws. -Reporting by James Pero

State employees arrested for sex with inmates By FRANCO FINO Staff Writer Three former state prison employees in two correctional facilities located in Westchester County have been arrested and charged with making sexual advances on inmates, in addition to other allegations made by New York State police. According to the Westchester County District Attorney’s office, former correction officers Iran Colon, 31, and Melissa Hill, 44, as well as a former head cook in one of the facilities, Garth Trail, 62, were arrested and charged with a number of crimes. Colon, a former correction officer at the Taconic Correctional Facility in Bedford Hills has been arraigned on a 19-count indictment stemming from illegal activities involving an inmate from May 2017 to September 2017. He has been charged with three counts of promoting prison contraband in the first-degree, five counts of rape in the third-degree, and four counts of criminal sexual act in the third-degree, all felonies; he was

also charged with seven misdemeanor counts of official misconduct. Trail allegedly engaged in a sexual act with an inmate in September 2017 in the Taconic Correctional Facilities’ kitchen area and has been charged with criminal sexual conduct in the third-degree. The correctional facility is a medium security building that houses only women. Hill has been charged with two counts of official misconduct for sexual acts in connection with a romantic relationship with an inmate from November 2017 to January 2018. The former correction officer was employed at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in the town of Ossining. The maximum security facility houses adult males. “Any inappropriate action between an inmate and a corrections employee can damage the safety and security of prisoners, corrections employees and the greater community,” said county District Attorney Anthony Scarpino about the ongoing investigation. “Our prosecutors will vigorously work to bring

these cases to an end.” According to authorities, the investigation began when an inmate in the Taconic Correctional Facility was discovered with a cellphone in September 2017. The unnamed inmate who was found with the cellphone allegedly had a sexual relationship with Colon. State law does not allow inmates to give sexual consent to correctional employees. “We have zero tolerance for any criminal activity within our facilities,” said Anthony Annucci, the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision acting commissioner. “These actions should prove to be a stern warning to others who may be considering similar shameful and illegal activities.” Colon has been released on bail and is due back in Westchester County Court on May 22. Trail’s next court appearance is on May 23. Hill was given a desk appearance ticket and is due back in court on May 15, in Ossining Town Court. CONTACT: franco@hometwn.com

Chicken or the Egg? LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

There’s a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately about the human condition: Does sports fandom dictate an individual’s general outlook on life or is it the other way around? My men’s league baseball team has gotten off to an amazing start this year, the best ever in the team’s 12-year history. A little more than a month into the season, we’re sitting atop the standings with a perfect 10-0 record—which, not for nothing, means we’ve won two more games than the dreadful Baltimore Orioles in 25 fewer chances. But our good play has sparked something of a debate among members of the team. Several players are relishing the opportunity of being—at least for the time – the top dogs in the league, while others—myself included—feel somewhat uncomfortable being the team

that everyone else is chasing. Perhaps unsurprisingly, these lines are largely drawn along the lines of our baseball fandom. My teammates who grew up as fans of the Bronx Bombers have no problem whatsoever embracing our new role as the favorites. And it’s not hard to understand why; part of the Yankees’ mystique is that they’re winners. They’re used to being the toast of MLB and their fans—for better or worse—act like those 27 championships are somehow part of their sports birthright. On the other hand, Sox fans like myself, who grew up in the shadow our big brothers from the Bronx have a sort of learned inferiority complex that’s hard to break. Even when the Red Sox won their first title in my lifetime, it was as a wild card team who had to overcome tremendous odds (a 3-0 series deficit) against said Yankees in order to even make the World Series. It was a fitting path to a championship, both for a team

that’s long been a second fiddle and for a fanbase that—rightly or wrongly—wears a sense of inadequacy as a badge of honor. So it makes sense, then, that my teammates who are Yankee fans want to put the pedal to the metal and head into our playoffs as the undisputed best in the league. The Sox fans? We’d rather let someone else enter the playoffs as the top seed and play the underdog role, whether that label truly applies to us or not. Maybe I think too much about stuff like this; perhaps other sports fans aren’t interested in the way their teams shape their lives or vice versa. Maybe I’m just the kind of person who feels more comfortable with lower expectations; maybe the Red Sox did it to me. One thing is for certain though, I’m glad I don’t root for the Cleveland Browns. I’d hate to know what kind of life that would be.

Tigers fall to North Rockland GIRLS LACROSSE

non-league

NO. ROCKLAND 12 MAMARONECK 9 MAMARONECK HS

5/7/18

Game Notes: • North Rockland outscored the Tigers 6-4 in the 2nd half • The loss snapped a 6-game win streak • Mamaroneck will play White Plains on May 10, after press time By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On Monday, May 7, the Mamaroneck girls’ lacrosse team saw an impressive winning streak come to an end, as the Tigers fell at home 12-9 to a North Rockland squad currently sitting atop the Section I rankings. Despite the hard-fought loss, Mamaroneck head coach Rocky Lividini is confident that her team is primed for a rematch should the two teams square off again in the postseason. After an evenly played first half that saw the Tigers head into

the intermission trailing 6-5, North Rockland’s high-pressure defense and balanced offense helped create some separation as the Red Raiders gained the upper hand once play resumed. For the Tigers (10-4), a second half swoon may have been the result of the team’s inability to maintain its intensity to the final whistle. “We have a smaller roster this year with only 20 girls, so I think you saw at the end, our middies had been running up and down the field for 50 minutes and they were gassed,” Lividini said. “We can’t just be a first-half team, we have to play a whole game.” The coach was pleased with some aspects of her team’s performance however, and noted that North Rockland (12-1)— who will be the presumptive top seed in the Class AA playoff bracket which will be announced next week—could be ripe for an upset if the two clubs square off again in the postseason. If the Tigers are able to win their two final regular season games, league contests against White Plains and Ursuline, they should secure a No. 2 seed, setting up a potential rematch in the Section I title game. “We knew coming in that

North Rockland was going to be the hardest team we’ve faced, but from what we saw, we have no reason to believe that we don’t have the ability to play with them,” Lividini said. “Granted it was a loss, but I think it gave us some confidence going into the sectionals.” Lividini stressed that in order to be successful against a team of North Rockland’s caliber the second time around, much would hinge on her team’s ability to learn from Monday’s game. “They put a lot of pressure on us with their defense and we can’t allow them to dictate what we want to do,” she said. “Defensively, we need to be able to stay tighter on their cutters because they have a lot of girls who can score.” But before the Tigers set their sights on North Rockland, they will first need to finish out the regular season on a strong note. “We already beat White Plains and Ursuline, so we know they’re going to come out on fire,” Lividini said. “We’ve taken every game one at a time and even good teams have a bad game, it’s just about learning from that and continuing to work hard.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
