Lady Garnets notch third shutout
Good morning subscribers. ☕This is your Thursday, Sept. 18, Rye Record newsletter, curating some of the latest headlines across the city of Rye.
Today’s Weather Channel local forecast calls for early clouds giving way to afternoon sun and a high of 80 degrees 🌤 Check out the forecast for the rest of the week here.
Back on track. Following its first loss of the season over the weekend against Mamaroneck, Rye field hockey returned to the win column with a 6-0 win over Fox Lane on Tuesday.
It was the third shutout of the season for the Garnets (4-1), who have allowed just five total goals in five games.
Senior forward Issy Mann scored half of Rye’s goals against Fox Lane, and senior forward Beau Whaling logged three assists. The other three goals were scored by sophomore midfielder Kaitlyn Coyne, senior midfielder Kendall Bahl, and junior forward Olivia Prata, who also notched an assist.
Rye’s dominance in its first five games has allowed for a lot of flexibility in the lineup, such as junior goaltender Tessa Zicari making her season debut in net. In her closing minutes of play time — coming in to relieve starting senior goaltender Chloe Holden — Zicari was tested and made one save.
“That was great for her to get involved and have some action down there because our defense did such a great job, and (Holden) didn’t need to do anything quite yet,” said coach Valerie Perkins. “So, it was nice for the girls on the sideline and everyone to get excited for (Zicari).”

SPORTS
Senior Sebastian Lewis and Rye's defense stifled Somers on Friday.
Nov. 1, 2019. That’s the last time Somers lost a game against a Section 1 opponent, when the Garnets rallied to beat the Tuskers and go to the section championship for the first time in four years.
Flash forward 2,142 days later. After a 48-minute defensive slugfest between two New York high school powerhouses, Rye again came out on top, snapping a four-game losing streak against Somers in a 17-7 victory Friday at Nugent Stadium.

Live-view cameras were part of a surveillance package that the village of Scarsdale recently scrapped over residents’ privacy concerns.
POLICE & FIRE
Scarsdale announced it wouldn’t move forward with a controversial plan to incorporate heightened surveillance technology across the village last month, a move hailed by many in the community who petitioned against it.
That equipment, however, is already widely used in Rye.
Funded through a federal grant, Scarsdale police were set to contract a technology company, Flock Safety, to install automated license plate readers, live-view surveillance cameras, and drones to aid in emergency response activity.

SCHOOLS

The first day of school in Rye brought joy and big changes.
“Good morning!” and “Happy first day!” exclamations from staff members outside the high school entrance were followed by reminders for students to put their cellphones away now that New York state has passed a new bell-to-bell phone ban.
Sixth and ninth graders entered their schools for the first time with nerves and excitement at 7:30 a.m. for tours and orientation before the older students arrived. A group of ninth grade girls stopped outside the high school entrance to compare schedules and write down their classes on index cards.
