Few teams have a player like Emily Koerick, who can be equally as intimidating in the circle, at the batter’s box or running the bases, and she’s been strong all season to lead Longwood to the No. 2 seed in the Suffolk Class AA playoffs. Entering the season already the all-time strikeout holder, Koerick has 14 wins in the circle.
With a deep lineup, led by middle infielder Gabriella Vicidomini along with Molly Ryan, Natalie Intrieri and Kayleigh Olsen, Longwood has scored at least seven runs in seven of its final nine games of the season. After winning just four games in the 2016 season, the Lions could complete their two-year turnaround with a title after a 16-2 season.

Emily Koerick pitches Longwood to Class AA title: Lions edge Hills West; will face East Meadow for LI crown.
Boell, John. Newsday, Combined editions; Long Island, N.Y. [Long Island, N.Y]. 30 May 2018:
Longwood’s Emily Koerick made her signature grunt as she released her 92nd pitch of the game. Half Hollow Hills West’s last swing became a high pop-up right above the Lions’ senior.
“I thought,” Koerick said, ” ‘Don’t drop it.’ “
The ball fell gently into her glove. Koerick then slammed the ball and glove to the ground to punctuate No. 2 Longwood’s 2-1 win over No. 5 Hills West in the Suffolk Class AA softball final on Tuesday.
Longwood (21-2) faces Nassau champion and defending state Class AA champ East Meadow (17-5) at 6:30 p.m. Friday in the Long Island Class AA final at Hofstra.
“We went 4-16 in 2016,” Koerick said. “We worked so hard for this, and we deserve this.”
The host Lions did all their damage in the first inning against the Colts’ tough Jillian Weinstein, who has thrown every pitch for Hills West (20-6) this season, including five straight wins in six days in the losers’ bracket.
Longwood’s Molly Ryan (2-for-3) slammed a double off the leftfield fence to drive in Koerick with two outs, and Natalie Intrieri followed with an RBI single for a 2-0 lead.
Hills West made it 2-1 in the third when Weinstein sent a long smash to deep centerfield, just in front of the 225-foot sign, for a sacrifice fly that scored Karlie Cennamo.
“Weinstein hit the ball 223 feet, and we needed 225,” coach Bryan Dugan said. “Game of inches, man.”
Weinstein allowed two earned runs and five hits, with no walks. Koerick tossed a four-hitter and allowed a run with four strikeouts and one walk.
“She does everything,” Ryan said of Koerick. “She pitches her heart out for us every game.”
Today around 5:45 pm, an infield pop-up was caught by Emily Koerick. Securing the 2nd Suffolk County Championship in school history for Longwood! #LVS -2 HHHW -1 From 4-16 to Suffolk County Champs in 2 years!! Hard work definitely pays off and you girls deserve this!
