After the officials restarted the game, Northport would outscore the Bulls 7-2 but the weather would force yet another stoppage. The game resumed June 2 with seven and a half minutes remaining, and despite a furious flurry of goals by the Red Bulls, Northport would hang on to win their second consecutive Suffolk County title.
Marcus Wertheim scored 4 goals and Brandon Marz 3 goals for Smithtown East. Michael Meyer and Jacob Starcke scored 4 each for the Tigers and Jack Deliberti would net 3. The Tigers take on Port Washington for the Class A title on Saturday at Hofstra.
