Carol Rose Reaches Career Win No. 400

The legacy continues to grow for Long Island lacrosse coaching legend, Carol Rose.

The Suffolk Sports Hall of Famer reached career win No. 400 as her Northport Tigers beat Ward Melville, 9-6, in a highly anticipated game between two of the states top schools.

“It’s kind of surreal but I’m honored to have the privilege to coach at Northport for the past 29 years and to work with the most awesome, talented and bright athletes,” Rose told Newsday. “None of it would be possible without them.”

Northport is now 9-0 this season as of April 26.

Rose and husband Al brought the sport of girls lacrosse to Northport in 1990. The community and district was all in and by 1996 they won their first County and Long Island Championship becoming a top program in New York.

Throughout her career the program has achieved greatness at many levels beginning with a state championship in 2011, 11 Class A county championships, six Long Island championships and 22 league titles.

“The success of this program is a testament to the student-athletes that have dedicated countless hours and hard work along with our community youth league for assisting in creating a strong foundation,” said Northport Athletic Director, Mark Dantuono. “Congratulations to Coach Rose for your commitment to the game of lacrosse, our student-athletes and to our school community.”
