Tottenville advanced to the girls' varsity golf finals on Monday afternoon with a 3-0 win over Cardozo.

Marine Park features a long, straight par-five on the first hole, a back-to-front sloped green on the second hole and a long par-four on the dogleg right third. A trio of bunkers guard the green on the short 264-yard par four fourth while views of the Empire State Building greet golfers teeing off on the fifth, a 123-yard par three hole from the red tee. 

A grip it and rip it drive from the tee on six is the best way to save par on that 341-yard par four, but more guile and tact is needed on the seventh, which features a narrow fairway and an uphill green. The par three eighth runs along the bank of the water hazard, while the ninth sees golfers hitting over the lake to hit the green in regulation.

This semifinal was played over nine holes.

Here are some photos from the contest, taken with either the 300mm 2.8, 70-200mm 2.8 or 50mm 1.4.

The New York Red Bulls ended their regular season finale at Red Bull Arena with a comfortable 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Union to clinch the Eastern Conference and guarantee themselves of a first or second seed in the Major League Soccer playoffs next month.

Mike Grella scored after seven seconds for the fastest goal in MLS history, Bradley Wright-Phillips added a second goal three minutes later and Grella made it 3-0 after 17 minutes. Kumar Lawrence scored his first MLS goal just before the break to extend the advantage to 4-0. Sebastien Le Toux scored for the Union on 55 minutes, but the Red Bulls coasted the rest of the way.

The Red Bulls are tied with FC Dallas in the Supporters' Shield race for the best regular-season record with one game remaining. New York travels to Chicago on Sunday while FC Dallas hosts San Jose.

Here are some photos from the game.
