ICYMI: Long Beach High School Student Receives All-American Honorable Mention in Lacrosse

In case you missed it, here's a story that appeared earlier this week in Long Beach Patch:

One Long Beach High School student recently received a High School All-American Honorable Mention in girls lacrosse for the 2016 season.

The honor was given to Sarah Reznick, the only sophomore ever to receive the honorable mention. In Nassau County, she is one of only five Honorable Mention All-Americans and 10 All-Americans to receive the honor.

This season alone Reznick, who has played as a started on the varsity team since the 7th grade, made 160 saves and led her team to the Nassau County Class B semi-final game.

When she was in 8th grade, she received the Unsung Hero award and the following year, was named All-County Honorable Mention.

Her freshman year she received All-County status in addition to making the Long Island Metro School Girls Team. She was also named one of Inside Lacrosse magazine's top 10 sophomores in the country.

Reznick will be playing Division I lacrosse at the University of Florida starting after graduating from Long Beach High School.

“I'm so proud of her as this is the first time a Long Beach girls lacrosse player received this honor,” Coach Rachel Ray said. “It is a very big accomplishment and not easy. Sarah is extremely deserving of this award as she is one of the hardest working kids I ever coached and keeps us competing at the highest level in Nassau County and on Long Island.”

Congratulations to Sarah Reznick!
