This Cyclone has a great personality; and a great foot.

Cyclones Volunteer At Pee Wee Girls Festival
The Cyclones took a break from their vigorous training regimen to lend a foot at the Pee Wee Girls Soccer Festival. The girls each supervised a differnt activity station, allowing the Pee Wee's to show off their skills, like running, passing, dribbling and shooting. The Cyclones were blown away with how well the Pee wee's played, not to mention how adorable they were.
The Cyclones were happy that the club was offering soccer for such young girls, something that was not available for them when they were Pee Wee's. The girls were glad they could help and wer impressed with the festival which was superbly run by Division Head Jeff Krieger.
Oh by the way, directly following the festival, perhaps inspired by the Pee Wee girls, the Cyclones won their second consecutive home game by beating the New Hyde Park Pantherettes 1-0 on Dana's 31st career Cyclone goal. It was the 5th time the Cyclones had beaten the Pantherettes this season and the 6th time overall.

Cyclones Break The Streak...& PARTY!!!
It had been over 2 years, 24 months, 742 days, 106 weeks and 19 games since the Cyclones had won a home game. No matter how you add it up, the Plainview-Old Bethpage Travel Fields on Round Swamp Road was more of a house of horrors than a home field for the Cyclones.
It was on October 22nd 2005, the Cyclones had beaten the Oyster Bay Dream 4-0 on goals by Dana (of course), Kristen & Emily "Hyper" remeber them. Since then the Cyclones had lost 14 and tied 5 at the home field.
UNTIL TODAY!!!
The Cyclones outplayed the Dix Hills Demons on the way to a 2-0 win. In Cyclone like weather conditions the girls from POB held back the demons through a first half of running into the wind. In the 2nd half with the wind at their backs the Cyclones took over the game, Jordan scored her 6th career goal early in the half and Dana scored her team leading 30th late in the game to ice it. In between every Cyclone, Ariel, Kathleen, Deniz, Elena, Marissa, Jordan, Dana, Rosey, Lisa, Jamie, Jenna, Maureen, Alexa, Anna L, Sabrina, Rachel won their battles, hustled and earned their way to the victory. Even Anna N, on the verge of coming back from the injured list outcheered the opponents. Great Job Cyclones!!!

The Cyclones celebrated the win at Baskin Robbins, doing what they do best...PARTYING!!!
Cyclones Name Captains
With the Cyclones battling through a tough October the Cyclone coaching staff decided to pick more permanent captains. The captains were chosen on each players ability to verbally motivate and assist their team mates on and off the field. Each player chosen also demonstrates a consistent effort on the field. It was a tough decision with so many players being so strong in so many areas, but the staff decided that Jamie, Ariel and Alexa are currently the 3 players who best exemplify all of the leadership skills on a consistent basis. Rumor has it that next season the players may select the captains themselves...stay tuned.
Cyclones Ride the Rollercoaster
The Cyclones have experienced a roller coaster fall season thus far.
After beating the Pantherettes 2-0 at Harbor Links on September 29th on goals from Dana and Maureen, the Cyclones were all alone in second place with a 2 win, 1 loss record. Both wins had come on the road, with Rosey scoring the lone goal in a shut out win at Dix Hills.
At the North Hempstead Cup (see picture above) the Cyclones played some of their best and
not so best soccer of the season. Highlights were the 6 goal effort against New Hyde Park and the tough 2-1 loss to Mineola. The Cyclones also dominated a feisty Manhasset team whose keeper played one of the best games that a keeper had played against the Cyclones in their entire existence in a 2-2 tie. In the tournament the Cyclones got 3 goals from Jamie, 2 goals from Anna L & Maureen with Jordan, Alexa and Marissa adding 1 goal each.

With Anna N sidelined with an injured hand, the Cyclones struggled their way through the rest of October going winless in the remaining 4 games. But, with one month remaining in the season the Cycloned continue to develop. The 17 player team has started to communicate better on the field. The newer players have begun to grasp the responsibilities of all of the different positions. November promoses to be a good month.

It's Official Cyclones Welcome Three New Players
On the eve of a new season the Cyclones officially welcome their 3 newest edtions Elena, Deniz and Kathleen. Elena is no stranger to the team, having practiced with the girls several times in the spring, showing good speed and aggressiveness that the Cyclones hope to see more of this fall.
Deniz already a favorite with the Cyclone players before joining the team had an outstanding tryout in the spring and has been improving throughout the summer. Deniz performed well in her debut in last weeks Covanta Cup playing forward, midfield and fullback.
Kathleen joins the Cyclones after working out with the team all summer. The Cyclones staff recognized the great effort and determination exhibited at each of Kathleen's practices from start to finish. Kathleen also had a successful appearance in the Covanta Cup.
With the addition of these new faces the Cyclones bid farewell to Ravid who moved on to play with the XP. Ravid had a tremendous year with the Cyclones, rising rapidly from new player to reliable veteran. Although she could play any position on the pitch, Ravid was an outstanding defender who will be sorely missed.

Cyclones Thrive With A Little Help From Their Friends
It took a sequence of events that occurred during a short period in the second half of the Cyclones 1st game in the Covanta Tournament to notice that something special was happening.
The Cyclones were trailing 2-0 to eventual tournament winners Merrick with about 10 minutes to play when star guest player Kelly Iovino sent a harmless looking shot at the Merrick keeper. The keeper misplayed the ball and then fell down. As she reached back to recover the ball, it was too late, the ball had crossed the goal line and the Cyclones were back in the game. Just minutes later a Merrick forward found herself in a situation that strikers can only dream about, all alone with the ball, facing only the goal keeper Lisa Soehngen from 6 yards out. The striker blasted the ball, but the shot was sent directly into the reliable arms of the waiting keeper to keep the Cyclones within a goal.
Following Soehngen’s punt and with literally seconds remaining the Cyclones other star guest player Ali Gungor took a shot that the Merrick keeper did well to keep out, but Gungor emphatically blasted the rebound in to the net to tie the match. By the time Merrick regrouped and lined up for the kickoff the final whistle blew.
Trailing 2-0 late in the second half against a U-13 team, the U-12 Cyclones had come back to tie the game, yes something special was happening.
In the second game against fellow U-12 Floral Park, the Cyclone jumped out to a 2-0 lead on the very familiar left leg of the teams all time leading scorer Dana Mass. After Gungor, who ended up scoring a goal in each game, added a 3rd goal the Cyclones controlled play trying to work some of the other players into to offense. After closing it out with a 3-1 win the Cyclones were tied for 1st with Merrick after day 1.
Day 2 started out with a bang, 2 quick Dana Mass goals put the Cyclones in front of the NHP Pantherettes. The score was 4-0 at halftime after Jordan Allen & Maureen Bradley tickled the twine later in the half. After Ali Gungor scored early in the 2nd half the Cyclones pulled back and worked on their passing and possession game. The Pantherettes were able to get 2 goals back, but they never really threatened and the Cyclones cruised 5-2.
Game 4 would end up being the most critical game of the weekend as the Cyclones went up against the U-13 Oyster Bay Eclipse, the largest and most physical of all the opponents they would face. Ali Gungor gave the Cyclones the early 1-0 lead, which lasted until the final seconds of the 1st half when the Eclipse tied it.
What stood out most throughout the second half of this fiercely contested match was the high level of determination and skill on display from the entire Cyclones roster. Lots of credit goes to Jamie Reich and Lisa Soehngen for solid goalkeeping in this 1-1 tie.
Although the tie in game 4 meant that the Cyclones were virtually eliminated from a shot at the Covanta Cup, second place fell well within their grasp if they could take care of their nemesis from Levittown, the Levittown Lunachicks.
The Lunachicks were clearly not the same team that they were in the past and the Cyclones were a team on a mission, The Cyclones saw Dana Mass score 2 goals a game for the 3rd time in the tournament increasing her all-time team leading career total to 26 goals, Kelly Iovino and Ali Gungor also added goals. But more team highlights were to come.
In the second half both Marissa Hauser & Rachel Trueman scored their first Cyclone goals causing the sideline to erupt with joy. Both players had outstanding weekends playing the best soccer of their Cyclone careers.
The 6-1 win over Levittown meant that the Cyclones had finished the weekend in 2nd place, the highest tournament finish in team history.
There were many heroes who did not score during the tournament, but were no less instrumental in the success of the team. Anna Lin had her best games as a Cyclone, simply dominating the play in the midfield, with her ball control and pinpoint passing.
Jenna Malamud played a smart tournament playing with courage and an abundance of energy while also playing under control and being smart. Lisa Rosenstein had her best tournament as a Cyclone, playing with the edge that elevates her game. Lisa came very close to tapping home her second career left foot goal.
It has now become common place to expect Ariel Harned to shut down opposing wingers from her right fullback position. She once again demonstrated her coolness under pressure, steering many possible chances for the opponents to safety for the Cyclones. Ariel came close to scoring as well during a reluctant cameo appearance on offense on Sunday.
The tandem of goal keeper and field players Jamie Reich and Lisa Soehngen have also become a great weapon as both players continued to prove to be factors in goal and on offense for Jamie and defense for Lisa.
Deniz Harned’s Cyclone debut was a solid one. Deniz barely missed her first goal on Saturday against Floral Park. Meanwhile she was one of the few Cyclones to play at Forward, Midfield & Defense playing well in all 3 spots.
Hard working Kathleen Donovan also made her Cyclone debut. Kathleen had some great moments including some extended time on forward pressuring the Levittown defense in the tournament finale.
In contrast Ravid Granov made her farewell performance with the Cyclones a memorable one as she set up Jordan Allen with a beautiful thread the needle pass leading to a breakaway and a Cyclone goal. Ravid has improved greatly in her one year as a Cyclone and the team honored her achievements after the game.
The Cyclones left the Covanta Tournament proudly clutching the 2nd place plaques that they had worked so hard to earn. With a little help from their friends, Ali & Kelly, the Cyclones have kicked off the Fall season in outstanding style. Maybe something special is happening.

POB Cyclones Kick in at Relay for Life
Click on the pictures to enlarge
The Cyclones inspired by our relay team captain and cancer survivor Lori Lee Noreman entered into the relay for life. It took us a while to finally decide upon getting involved, but there was enough interest and most importantly Lori Lee was willing to do the leg work to get us started.
We started collecting money just about a week before the relay and up to now have collected over $2515 as a team. There are more donations that have been sent by mail by some of the Cyclones which have yet to be registered on our site.
The Cyclones were the 5th place team in the race for donations and featured the 5th highest donor in Jenna Malamud. Jenna had already had a great day saturday when she scored her first Cyclone goal in a game against Syosset.
The relay was a great success and every one connected with this team thanks everyone who donated on behalf of the Cyclones.
Must be something in the water in East Fishkill!
The Cyclones made their first true road trip on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend as they traveled to East Fishkill. The One day trip included 3 games against tough competition. The Jericho Force, undefeated leaders in our N5 Division, the Greenburgh Bulldogs from Westchester Division 3 and the East Fishkill Blue Ravens from East Hudson Division 2.
Although the girls were disappointed not to have Dana, Alexa & Sabrina available (those 3 players had accounted for 15 of the teams 18 goals in the fall) they were thrilled to welcome Mia R a standout Goalkeeper and field player for the POB Wildcats.
It was a gorgeous day in Dutchess County.
The Cyclones lost 4-1 to Jericho, but the game was much more hotly contested than the score would indicate. With Mia available to play keeper the Cyclones had the rare opportunity to place both Jamie and Lisa S on the field at the same time. Jamie scored her team leading third goal of the season early in the second half. But, the highlight had to be the entire commitment to the game by all 14 of the players.
After enjoying a 1 hour break of blow up rides and snacks the Cyclones took the field against a very physical and skilled team from Greenburgh. It was probably the best single game the girls played all season. They constantly won the 50/50 balls and out hustled their Westchester opponents all game. At halftime the girls could here the Bulldogs coaches screaming about being out hustled and outplayed completely. His speech did not work. Although the Cyclones were able to create several scoring chances, evidenced by Mia hitting the post, there was to be no victory. The Cyclones were bitten by 2 Bulldog goals, one with seconds remaining in the first half, the second coming late in the second half in a 2-0 loss.
The joke is that there must be something in the water that keeps the Plainview kids small. Playing against kids a year older usually doesn’t help either. But there really must be something “fishy” in the water in East Fiskill, because they are growing them awfully large there. In their final match of the tournament the diminutive Cyclones played the “Giant” Blue Ravens of east Fishkill. It was never really close as at least 7 of the Blue Ravens could probably dunk a basketball and the feisty Cyclones were tired.
I think we all enjoyed hanging out on a beautiful day in the country, I think we all recognized how well the girls competed and enjoyed themselves.
Finally the highlight was the dinner at Bella Vista (thanks to the parents), where you could feel the success of the day in the attitude of everyone involved and by the fact that everyone who made the trip, made it back in one piece, tired, but happy!

Merry Merry Month of May?
.jpg)
May proved to be one of the more difficult months in Cyclone history. After stunning Baldwin the first week of the season and collecting a point with a tie at home against Wantagh-Seaford the Cyclones went winless the rest of the way.
There were some highlights, like watching the Atlantic Beach Drawbridge go up and down while losing at Hewlett-Lawrence.
There was Dana, the Cyclones all-time scoring leader, playing on one foot, reaching the 20 goal plateau for her career as the Cyclones played a good second half against New Hyde Park. Unfortunately we were trailing 3-0 at halftime.
There was the outstanding defensive effort in a 2-0 home loss to Oceanside.
The worst of it was losing Dana for rest of the month and the first 2 games in June with that same injury.

Captain Phil's Corner

This is Phil, captain for the Cyclone soccer game on 4/21/07 vs Wantagh-Seaford. You guys all did amazing. Jamie was in goal the entire game, but she made amazing saves, and she stayed in there and we tied!
Alexa sprinted the whole game and played amazing offense. I think we have found Anna L's new position! It was amazing when she scored! It was so close to being a corner kick. Dana, Ariel, Ravid and Anna N were all amazing on Defense! I thought we should have won because we played so well! Maureen, Lisa R & Sabrina were on midfield and did really well also. Marissa, Rachel and the Jordster did really,very well. We all played amazing and we would not have done it without everyone. I was very proud to be captain of this game.

Captains Corner with Alexa
.jpg)
The POB Cyclones had a rough start of the season, but they are back in action! During the match against the Baldwin Eagles, we barley had enough players to put on the field! With 9 players, the Cyclones played outstandingly well. In the 1st half Lisa S did some amazing goaltending. On defense, we had Dana, Jenna and Ariel and they stopped every ball that came to them, like a wall! On mid-field, Anna N and Lisa R were making amazing passes like we have never lost a game! On offense, we had Jamie, Rachel, and Sabrina playing at the top of there game! TOOT! 2nd half and the score is still 0-0. Lisa S is still in goal, Sabrina is on midfield, and Jamie (BOB) is on offense. Jamie dribbles up...shoots...and scores!! The score is now 1-0 POB! But in a matter of time they get one back. The score is now 1-1. But the game is not over yet! Jamie scored another goal to make it a 2-1 game. TOOT! That's the game! The Cyclones WON!! Excellent game played by the POB Cyclones with only 9 players!!!
Special Thanks To Alexa & Marissa For Coming To Support Our Team!!!!

Captains Corner With Captain Jordan

The POB cyclones were indestructible against the Syosset Dynamite. Even though the Cyclones lost, doesn’t mean we didn’t play good. Lisa S. did an amazing job on defense and she also did great in goal. Jamie was a star goalie in the game along with the many other positions. Lisa R & Maureen made great passes just like Rachel did. Alexa scored a goal making the score two to one Dynamite. Sabrina made great throws, while Anna Lin used her big kick to help the team. Jordan ran fast along with Ravid and Anna N. Dana was awesome on offense just like Jenna. Too bad Marissa was hurt and Ariel couldn’t be there. Dave, Lon, and Rich were great coaches.
GO POB CYCLONES DOMINATE THE REST OF THE SEASON!!!!

Cyclones Suffer Another Bad Break

The Cyclones suffered a bad break last week when it was learned that Marissa had broken her wrist. The injury will sideline the star midfielder/forward for 3 weeks. The first year Cyclone had been training hard all winter and shown great improvement. Always among the most eager players to get onto the field the team wishes their #15 a speedy recovery and hope to have her back on the pitch for there April 21st match with Wantagh-Seaford.

Cyclones Welcome Number 42
.jpg)
The Cyclones are thrilled to welcome Rachel to the team this spring. Rachel was present at one of our early training sessions with Kaz, and showed true Cyclone grit, by still showing up to practice again with the team and wanting to join the roster. The coaching staff is excited to add another enthusiastic athlete to the mix. Rachel will sport the #42!
Welcome Aboard Rachel!!!
