The Cyclones were rewarded for their good fall season with promotion to LIJSL Nassau Division 4. They will be joined by the toughest teams in their old division, Albertson, Massapequa, Syosset & Oceanside. Joining these teams are the Garden City Tigers (winners of the Refuel Tournament in the fall), Levittown Lunachicks & RVC (Rockville Centre)Blasters. These teams went a combined 23 Wins, 3 Losses & 1 Tie in the LIJSL NY Division in the fall. The NHP (New Hyde Park) Lady Leopards & Levittown Thunder also join the Division. Gone are the Manhasset, Oyster Bay, Wantagh-Seaford, Port Washington & Plainedge teams that the Cyclones beat last season.
This will be a big challenge for the Cyclones who have earned the honor.

The weather outside was frightful...
The Cyclones started off 2006 by going undefeated in the East Meadow World Cup Tournament, cruising to an impressive third place finish.
The Tournament featured 3 0-0 ties, a 1-1 tie and a 2-1 win vs the host team.
As has been their calling card, all 12 Cyclones gave 100% effort, fighting for every ball and winning most of them.
Dana punched in all 3 goals to lead the offense.
Anna was recognized by the tournament committee as the Outstanding Defensive Player of the entire division.
The coaches were faced with the difficulty of choosing a team MVP, a position they were not relishing. How do you recognize one player, when all 12 try so hard and perform so well?
That decision was initially made easy as Jamie made amazing save after amazing save, literally lifting the crowd out of their seats. She was outstanding and deserving of the honor.
Then Lisa had to complicate matters by putting on the best single game display of goalkeeping I have ever seen. There were at least 7 or 8 point blank chances that Lisa came up with.
Unfortunately, tournament officials would not allow the Cyclones to pick multiple MVP's.
A great start to 2006!
THE CYCLONES ARE HOTT-DREW ALLEN.
