Cyclones Score 8 times to Ring in 08 (click here for standings)


The Cyclones opened up the indoor season and the New Year by setting a team record with 8 goals in an impressive 8-3 win vs the Mineola Tigers split squad B team on Saturday afternoon in Cunningham Park. The Cyclones opened the scoring when Jamie, playing the sole midfield position blasted home her 10th career goal, becoming the 2nd Cyclone to reach double figures in goals, an excellent accomplishment for a player who plays half the time in goal. The first half was evenly played between the 2 sides, the difference being a goal by Sabrina (her 4th) that put the Cyclones ahead to stay 3-2 at half time. The other score being Jamie's 2nd of the game (her 11th)
The second half was all POB. While Mineola courageously played with no subs, the Cyclones rotated their 14 player roster and the goals started to build, Dana (32nd), Jordan (7th), Rosey (4th), Jenna (2nd) and Lisa S who became the last of the original Cyclones to score first goal, after playing a stellar first half in goal.
It was a great afternoon the Cyclones got great performances across the board as every player played both offense and defense including excellent indoor defensive debut's from Captain Marissa, Kathleen, Rachel and Deniz. Anna did a nice job in her offensive debut, Ariel & Dana did an excellent job playing all 3 field positions. Alexa once again led by example putting in her usual 110% effort.
No doubt that the other Mineola split squad will be seeking revenge next Saturday when they meet the Cyclones for a 3:00 PM kickoff!
