Sachem North softball is reveling in a first-time milestone as the team boasted its best league record with a 15-4 season.

Manager Ken Sasso expressed his realization that the team’s success often goes unnoticed until after it has passed. He was taken aback when they won their 15th game and he reflected on their record, realizing they had never achieved such a milestone in the league.

Sophomore catcher Delaney Mathes is hitting an unfathomable .685 heading into a playoff matchup with Half Hollow Hills on Friday.

Mathes isn’t thinking about personal accolades, though — especially after a second-round exit against Sachem East last season.

“I definitely want to win the county … especially just to make it farther than last year would be really great,” she said.

The team wants to follow suit with the high-octane energy it’s known for.

Third baseman Brooke Giordano highlighted the team’s constant energy levels, mentioning that there are no dull moments. Pitcher Dani Brennan chimed in, emphasizing that the team’s energy peaks when their hitting performance is strong.

Brooke Giordano also emphasized the team’s unity and spirit, mentioning how everyone is consistently engaged and supportive. She pointed out that their strong camaraderie and vocal support set them apart from other teams, making their cheering squad stand out.

Sachem balances spirit with composure as coaches focus “more on the mental part over mechanics,” said junior shortstop Bella Kriklava, who is thrilled to try to win it all.

“They’re helping us stay in the right state of mind.”


The Class B softball title series starts with the top seed, Carle Place (16-5), taking on the third seed, East Rockaway (14-4), at Farmingdale State College at 10:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.

In baseball, No. 1 seed Wantagh (19-3) travels to No. 2 seed Wheatley (18-3-1) for Game 2 of the semifinals Friday at 4:30 p.m.
