Cyclones play like Dynamite!


The Jordster scored her first goal of the season midway through the 2nd half to give the Cyclones a 2-1 lead over the Syosset Dynamite. But...it didn't count. Moments later the Dynamite scored the eventual game winning goal in a 3-1 Dynamite win.
The Cyclones played hard, fighting for every ball, while coming back from a 1-0 deficit on a big goal from DJ. But, the offside called on the Jordster goal seemed to be the turning point for the Cyclones in their first loss in 55 days, 10 hours 30 minutes and 45 seconds.
How far have these girls have come since June? They expect to win everytime they get on the field. They behave and play like winners and they handled the first loss with class.
They were Dynamite!

Name That Cyclone


This speedy Cyclone is known for her big kick and rugged style of play. She excels on offense, by scoring goals and on defense, by stopping them.

Nothing Plain About this Game

The Plainedge Magic and the Plainview-Old Bethpage Cyclones met at East Plain in Plainedge in one of the few games that were not rained out this weekend on Long Island. The game was anything but plain.
It was the most exciting game this season as the Cyclones had to come from behind against the Magic. The Magic scored early as #18, who wreaked havoc on the Cyclones all day, slipped through the defense and put a goal past the diving Lisa S.
The Cyclones came right back as Captain Emily "Hyper" tied the game at one just minutes later, driving a shot into the far right corner, her 3rd goal in the last 3 games.
The Cyclones capitalized on good passing as Jordan, Emily "Action" and Kristen's build up led to Maureen's one timer from the penalty spot, which soared over the outstretched arm of the keeper. It was Maureen's 3rd goal of the season.
Both teams had there chances, especially Plainedge's #18. But, Jamie and Lisa were a stonewall in the net, stopping everything that came there way. The Magic coach said after the game that the whole Cyclone team "should treat their goalies to Pizza and Ice Cream".
Lisa S, Kristen, Jenna and Jordan and played spledid outside defense to keep #18 from getting anything started in the second half.
Captain "Big Al" Anna had another strong effort on the defensive side.
The Plainview offense were smart and dangerous once again. Dana, Hyper, Rosie, Action, Maureen, Jenna and Krtisten were aggressive and smart leading to many good chances, in which the tall and intimidating Plainedge defense were pushed to the brink.
The girls were very happy to see Allison at the game, and I think Allison was just as excited to see how well the girls are playing.
The Magic were easily the toughest game in what is certainly becoming a Magic season for the Cyclones.
