Locust Valley Falcons Hickey, Nabet and Tini hit milestones

The Locust Valley Falcons girls and boys lacrosse teams are both in the midst of successful seasons, but they also have some individual milestones to celebrate this season.

Senior Payton Tini secured her 200th point in a win over Friends Academy on April 17 and junior Owen Hickey and sophomore Katie Nabet each scored their 100th goal on April 29 and May 1, respectively.

“I could not be more proud of the lacrosse player she (Tini) has become,” coach Carolyn Morales said. “I cannot wait to watch her continue her success in the next chapter of her life.” Tini will head to Rutgers to continue her lacrosse career in the fall.

“It’s amazing to see a young, talented player (Nabet) early in her career be such an impact player and reach milestones like this,” Morales also said.

“Owen is a great lacrosse player and an even better leader. Every day, he comes to practice and does what he can to help make the team better,” boys varsity coach Thomas Duggan said of Hickey. “As a coaching staff, we couldn’t be happier for him to get his 100th goal. I know this is just one of the many milestones that Owen will accomplish not only at Locust Valley but at the next level, as well.”
