Cyclones Claw Their Way To A Tie

CYCLONES CELEBRATE DANIELLE'S GAME TYING GOAL

Trainling 2-1 midway through the 2nd half and with the injuries mounting the Cyclones willed themselves to hard fought tie Sunday Night at Field of Injuries Dreams. The Cyclones held a fragile 1-0 lead at halftime on Alexa's 2nd goal of the season. It was a fantastic finish, after the keeper punched away one shot Anna Lin headed the ball back inside the 6 yard box where Alexa nodded it past the keeper. The lead looked fragile since the Tigers speedy forwards kept up a constant threat. No less than 2 outstanding stops by Deniz keeping them off the board.

                                            DENIZ PERFORMS 1st HALF HEROICS

Despite the awareness of the speedy Tiger fowards, Massapequa was able to breakthrough twice early in the 2nd half to grab a 2-1 lead. Already thin on defense with Ravid  home nursing a bad ankle the Cyclones suffered a tremendous scare when Kiera went down on the turf clutching "good" knee. With Anna on frayed ankle ligaments and Dana limping up and down the field the Cyclones pushed back. Following a save on an Alexa shot, Danielle buried the rebound to knot the game at 2.
Despite the injuries the Cyclones had the better of play down the stretch but couldn't find the game winner in what turned out to be a great match. As they have through the 1st 3 games this season and even more this week, the Cyclones have benefitted greatly from their newest players Jennifer, Alyssa & Vicki.
