For the first time as a team the Cyclones dressed only 9 players when they took the field in the cold & windy rain Saturday at the Travel Fields. Facing the New Hyde Park Lady Leopards all 9 girls put together a complete effort.
Trailing 1-0 midway through the 2nd half "The Jordster" took a throw-in from Anna, beat 2 defenders and buried her first Cyclone goal into the back of the net. The momentum continued as "KW" scored a huge goal to give the Cyclones a 2-1 lead. The Lady Leopards hung tough and snuck in a goal to tie the game with just a couple of minutes to go. The game finished at 2-2.
Playing without, Hyper, Action & Lisa S, the rest of the girls stepped up their game:
Rosie had her best game yet, barely missing 2 goals in the 2nd half & setting up her teammates with smart and accurate passes. DJ, AL & KW showed their versatility playing several different positions and doing it well. Phil, The Jordster & Moby, dominated in the midfield winning most of the 50/50 balls they went for and running all day without quitting. Alexa and Anna & DJ played excellent defense, working together covering both sides of the field and supporting the offense.
"Bob" put in another great effort in goal. She has continuously kept the Cyclones in every game she's played and never gives up.
The Cyclones will need all hands on deck as they travel to Albertson for next week.
