The Cyclones opened their 7th season at home against the team that eliminated them from Waldbaums Cup contention just 6 months earlier, the Copiague Blue Angels. Despite the warm feelings the 2 teams had for one another based on the Cyclones memorial day festival in which the Cyclones & Angels teamed up to take on their parents, both team meant business at game time.
The game was played evenly in the first half, a good sign for the Cyclones who had been outplayed in the cup match which they had lost 1-0. But, the complexion of things changed in the second half as the Cyclones started to control the tempo. As the half wore on the Cyclones seem to be in control and finally found the finishing touch off the familiar foot of all-time Cyclone goal scoring leader Dana, off a pretty feed from Marissa. Despite the 100% effort the Angels could not break down the stubborn Cyclone defense which seemed to really build off the tournament from the week before. Jamie finished the complete game shutout and the Cyclones had only their 2nd season opening win a 1-0 thriller.
