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.
