POB TIE RVC

The Cyclones got a second half goal by DJ, to come from behind and tie the Rockville Centre Blasters 1-1 Saturday at Round Swamp Road. Playing with a new formation, it took the Cyclones a full half just to get used to their surroundings. During that time "Bob" kept them in the game, stopping a penalty shot and reaching up high to grab a breakaway shot that was a certain goal. One RVC parent was heard lamenting that "their goalie is killing us".
As the whistle blew for the second half you could see the tide turn the Cyclones way. Outside midfielders, The Jordster, Lisa S & Phil used their speed to thwart the Blaster offense and control the perimter. Meanwhile the other outside midfielder Moby, had a sure goal kicked off the line by an alert RVC defender. The middle of the field was controled by Action who set up DJ's goal and Rosie who came fractions of an inch from one timing a goal of her own.
The Cyclone forwards were threatining throughout the second half as KW, Hyper & DJ rotated attacking the net.
The defense was it's old stingy self led by Big Al.
Big Al was supported by a rotating group of KW, DJ, Hyper & Lisa S, who kept the Blasters away from the Cyclone net for most of the second half.
KW & Hyper showed tremendous versatility by playing all field positions and doing so well.
The coaches were impressed by Jerry (touchdown) who although she was unable to play, still turned up to root for her team, thus rewarding her with a captains band for the game.
