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.
