The Cyclones put together another complete team effort in beating the Manhasset Stars 5-0 Saturday at Round Swamp Road for their 1st home victory. Each girl played aggressive and smart soccer, passing, moving and supporting each other from start to finish.
"Hyper" Emily scored her first 2 goals of the year, the first on a penalty kick to give the Cyclones a 1-0 lead. Anna "Big Al" drilled home a magnificent strike from 18 yards out on a rebound from an Emily "Action" shot that hit the post, for her 1st goal of the season. The goal showed what the results can be when the defense supports the offense.
Lisa "Rosie" made it 3 nil when she smartly intercepted a goal kick and rifled her 1st goal of the year into the far corner.
In the second half, Jamie who had already hit a beautiful corner kick, scored her first goal, by staying in her position and being in the right place to make the score 4-0. "Hyper" celebrated her 1st start of the season on offense with a 2nd goal, to make the final score 5-0.
Lisa "the mad hatter" celebrated her 9th birthday with her first solo shut out.
Here's what didn't show up in the score sheet:
- Alexa and Jordan's strong defense, they continue to play their best soccer ever.
- Kristen, Maureen's passing and moving enabled their team mates to reap the rewards of their hard work.
- Jenna and Dana's agressive play, stopping every challenge on defense and breaking through on offense.
The Manhasset Stars played hard through out and will continue to improve with the hard work and never say die spirit they showed against the Cyclones.
The Cyclones coaches and parents are beaming with pride over the effort and enthusiasm the girls are playing with, no matter the outcome. They are a great group of girls with outstanding attitudes and an abundance of personality.
