For the second time in three years, the Bayport-Blue Point girls lacrosse team won its final game of the season and attained its ultimate goal.

The Phantoms claimed the New York State Class C championship last Saturday afternoon with a convincing 17-7 victory over Queensbury (Section I), at SUNY Cortland, to cap a 21-win campaign. Ava Meyn scored five times, Aubrie Eisfeld had four goals and three assists, and Kailey Bruckner added a hat trick as BBP capped a dynamic couple of weeks that included wins over Sayville for the Suffolk title and South Side for the Long Island crown.

“We came out guns blazing,” BBP coach Ryan Gick said. “Our defense was lockdown, and we were sharp offensively and shared the ball like we always do. Overall, it was one of our best games all year.”

All of Meyn’s goals came in the first half as the Phantoms exploded to a comfortable 12-2 lead. She finished the year with 65 goals. Eisfeld had 62, plus 26 assists for a team-high 88 points. Olivia Brady had 38 goals, Bruckner 28, and Erika Kreuscher 45 points.

But the offense was just a portion of the team’s success. Goaltender Sophia Diaz and the stifling defense of Emma Brown, Payton Weybrecht, Abigail Bishop, and Shannon Carney proved tough to crack.

“Getting Emma Brown back from [an] injury for the last three games was huge,” Gick said.  “Our defense had them [Queensbury] frustrated.”

Eisfeld starred in last Friday’s 15-7 victory over Jamesville-DeWitt in the state semifinals, scoring six goals. Brady had three goals and two assists, and Bruckner and Kreuscher each added two goals and an assist.

The Phantoms led the semifinal 7-3 at halftime, then pulled away by scoring eight of the first 10 goals of the second half, before Jamesville-DeWitt connected for the game’s final two tallies.

“We spent quite a bit of time finding film on J-D,” Gick said of Jamesville-DeWitt. “We were prepared, and then we had a crash course on Queensbury Saturday morning.”

BBP’s lone defeat of 2025 came at the hands of Rocky Point, 10-9. The Phantoms won their first nine out of the gate and more importantly, closed with a 12-game win streak.

Between defeating South Side, 10-6, for the LIC, they had to take an extra step to get to the state semifinals and did so June 7, with a 15-9 come-from-behind triumph over Nyack in the Class C regionals behind five goals from Meyn, a hat trick from Eisfeld, and two goals apiece from Bruckner and Kreuscher.

“They handled an extremely tough stretch well,” Gick said.

Most of BBP’s six seniors capped five-year varsity careers with an incredible record of 93-7.

“We’re going to miss the seniors, but they left quite a legacy,” Gick said of Eisfeld, Meyn, Kreuscher, Brown, Diaz and Emma Shanahan.
