Girls’ Player of the Year JULIA GLYNN Manhasset (N.Y.)
Disco made a comeback in the hamlet of Manhasset on Long Island. Julia Glynn and Lindsey Ronbeck put on their dancing shoes and led the Indians
to their first girls’ lacrosse state championship in 11 years. Disco is Manhasset’s name for a play that featured Glynn and Ronbeck, one they used repetitively to dig out of a 7-2 hole with nine straight goals in an 11-7 win over Victor in the Class B state final. “We did that play this whole entire year and it worked almost every single time,”
said Ronbeck, a junior attacker who is committed to Florida. Disco featured the Harvard-bound Glynn working behind the cage with Ronbeck
to get defenders off balance with flip passes and fakes. “It’s basically working the crease until you find an open shot or an open shot to the other player,” Glynn said. Glynn, an adept faker, consistently fooled Ronbeck’s defenders to feed her wide-
open in front of the goal. “Sometimes she even fakes me out,” Ronbeck said. Glynn finished with 54 goals and 34 assists, including four goals and three
assists in the state championship game. She also had the ability to win important draws and mark the opponent’s most capable offensive threat. Manhasset coach Danielle Gallagher called Glynn the smartest player on the
field, sometimes to the point of being over-analytical. “This year, she’s done a good job of turning off her brain and trusting her instincts,” Gallagher said. Glynn took on an even larger role this season when Manhasset lost three players due to ACL injuries. She credited Gallagher,
a former four-time U.S. World Cup team player and National Lacrosse Hall of Famer, for pushing her game to the next level. “She definitely instilled a lot of things in
me that she saw in herself,” Glynn said. “She pushed me to be my best. She even got a little hard on me sometimes, because she knows I have it in me.” — W.C.
