The Cyclones truly resembled their namesake this past fall season. Oh no…not the weather Cyclone, but the Coney Island rollercoaster Cyclone. It was truly a season of tremendous ups and downs as the ladies were faced with their most challenging schedule of league games and Cup matches as well.
In true LIJSL fashion the Cyclones were given a horrible draw for the Waldbaums Cup 1st round match. The opponent was one time Division 1 Stony Brook Dominators who had somehow played themselves down to the minor bracket. Adding insult to injury it would be a road game. To their credit the Cyclones kept the Dominators from dominating keeping the game scoreless for the 1st 20 minutes. The Dominators eventually broke through 6 times before the Cyclone coaches decided to rescue Deniz from the net. The ladies kept battling when Alexa would force a Penalty Kick. Looking to reward Deniz for the onslaught that she had been subjected to the coaches decided to let her take the PK attempting to score her 1st league goal ever. Deniz obliged and blasted the ball into the left corner passed the helpless keeper for the Cyclone lone goal. Her celebration alone was enough to put a smile on the faces of the entire Cyclone family past the final whistle.
It would be 2 more losses before the Cyclones would get their 1st “W” of the season, besting the rival Cheshire Cats 3-0. To be fair that cats were missing their fair share of claws playing 3 players down until the Cyclones began eliminating players as the goals went in.
It was a 2 game winning streak as the Cyclones celebrated one of their best victories ever a 6-1 win. It was a magical day that saw both Alexa & Danielle score hat tricks. One of Danielle’s goals was off a header a team first.
As the season progressed there were no more wins to be found as the Cyclones finished the fall with a 2 win & 7 loss record.
There were plenty of milestones reached during the season…
- Dana, Jordan, Anna L, Lisa, Alexa & Jenna played in their 200th games as Cyclones
- Jordan & Alexa became the 4th & 5th Cyclones to reach the 20 goal plateau for their career
- Alexa & Danielle became the 1st 2 players to score hat tricks in the same game
- Deniz scored her 1st league and outdoor goal
- Deniz tied Jamie for the Cyclone lead in wins by a keeper at 19, in half the games
- Dana scored her 75th goal
- The Cyclones scored in 6 consecutive games for the 3rd time ever and 1st time in 3 ½ year.
