#5 Roslyn (13-4) vs #1 Garden City (16-1), 3:30 pm
Garden City has spent most of the season as the top-ranked public school team nationally in several polls. The Trojans are averaging over 14 goals a game and almost 70% of their goals are assisted. Senior Charlie Koester (69 points), junior Anthony Asaro (39 points) and sophomores Ben Smith (66 points) and Jeff Finnell (48 points) are the leading scorers. The faceoff battle between the Trojans Brayden Robertiello (79%) and Roslyn's Ethan Goldberg (85%) should be a good one. The Bulldog's will counter with senior Josh Berger and junior Gavin Ryback, attackmen who both have 88 points this season.

Containing Paccione and teammates Luke Martini (54 goals), Matthe Giacobello (44 goals), and Joe Nicholson (43 goals) will be a tall task for North Shore, as Wantagh averages a county-best 15 goals per game. The Vikings are led by junior Anthony Cimino (43 goals) and senior Angelo Anobile (54 points).

Waxer and fellow senior Giovanni Accardo (69 points) are a tough 1-2 combo to match up against. Farmingdale can defend one of the Syosset stars with senior defenseman Michael Galgano, the county leader in caused turnovers with 75. The Dalers will need a strong peformance from their leaging scorer, Sean Schumeyer (48 points), to advance to their fourth Nassau final this decade.
