Congratulations to the Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School Girls Junior Varsity Field Hockey team and their coach Maria Stamatelatos, for receiving the Marilyn Cross Sportsmanship Award. The Suffolk Field Hockey Umpires’ Association present the award, which is given to only one varsity, junior varsity, and middle school team in Suffolk County each year, based on high marks for sportsmanship. Following each game, the referees, rate the teams based on ten different sportsmanship categories. The junior varsity team received the highest rating of all JV teams across Suffolk County and was awarded the plaque. This is the first time a team from Copiague has won this award.
