Landing at number 21 in our top 24 preseason rankings are one of the storied programs on the island the Mount Sinai Mustangs. A program that consistently finds themselves in the playoffs were once again playing deep into May in 2023 after making the playoffs as a six seed and defeating both Westhampton and Sayville each by a goal to get to the county finals where their playoff run came to an end against the eventual state champions from Bayport. The Mustangs are back in 2024 as one of the many teams from Suffolk that make Class C very deep, and they’ll be fighting with a number of teams to try to make it back to the playoffs.
Mount Sinai’s offense starts with the top recruit in the country Alexa Spallina in the class of 2025. The Syracuse bound attacker has left no doubts why she was the number one recruit, after a virtually unstoppable sophomore campaign with 41 goals and 44 assists for 85 points. As a force multiplier on the field that can also elevate those around her, Spallina is in line for yet another dominant season. In the 2026 class the Mustangs have another top tier attacker on the island in the lefty Sophia Masone. Through five games in the LILJ HSWL Masone was the leading scorer for Mount Sinai with 14 goals and a total of 15 points. The Mustang attackers that were also in the fold this spring saw playing time this winter includes Ava Clark (LIU), Madeline Kaplan (Scranton), Camryn Chamberlain (Stetson), Ava Brennan, and Lila Callahan.
The midfield for the Mustangs begins with their seniors Peyton Choma (Quinnipiac) and Kayli Carannante (Pitt). Last season Choma was their leading scorer from the midfield with 21 points. Sophomore Olivia Romeo could also be in play for an expanded role this season after seeing plenty of action this winter.
On the defensive end their key returning defenders are Gabby Ramos (LIU), Kyla Orlando (UMass), and Ava Schirtzer (Pitt), while they add to their defensive depth with sophomores Liliana Graziano and Talyn Summer. The goaltending will look different for the Mustangs this season as their two goalies going into the spring is junior Addison Beal and freshman Kathryn Arrington.
