Cyclones Pull Rabbit Out Of Hat Vs Magic

The Cyclones headed out farther east then they ever had before to Hauppauge for their 3rd game of the season. Despite an extraordinary first half effort the Cyclones trailed the Hauppauge Magic 1-0 as the half time whistle blew. The quality scoring chances seem to come in bunches in the first 35 minutes, but as much as the Magic bent, they would not break.
At halftime the girls were commmended for their efforts but they had dug a small hole that they needed to climb out of.
The Cyclones stepped it up in the second half and with Dana, Jamie & Anna L up front it was only matter of time before they would break through. With a play starting out in their defensive zone, by Jenna, the Cyclones got their first break. Jenna found Dana wide on the wing, Dana sent an excellent pass up the wing to Anna who broke through the defense before being fouled in the box. Anna then deposited the ensuing penalty kick in the left corner to the game.
The Cyclones kept battling and with seconds remaining, Jenna once again found an open player, this time it was Jamie who scored the game winner.
It was a well earned victory against a spirited opponent. Deniz shut down the chances the Magic mustered in the second half and there was outstanding play across the board. Anna's goal was her 3rd straight of a penalty kick. The Cyclones are currently tied for 2nd place going into week 4!
