Whitman Wins First Long Island Girls Basketball Championship Title

Congratulations to Whitman’s Girls Basketball Team for winning the Long Island Championship for the first time against Syosset. The 38-29 victory gives the team a 21 and 3 record and a trip upstate this Saturday to play in the NY State Final Four vs. Our Lady of Lourdes. 

At the AAA Regional Championship game, Iris Hoffman hit 3 three-pointers finishing with 11 points. Kallie Eichner hit 2 three-pointers, 1 with 2 and a half minutes remaining to help seal the win. Brianna Verga and Kathleen O'Mara scored 7 points each while Jaz Julien, Paige Hiller, and Madison Richter all played outstanding defense keeping Syosset to their lowest point total of the season.
