It was a very good game between the New Hyde Park Cheetahs and Syosset Sol.
Syosset Sol with a two-point lead over NHP Cheetahs for the first place division title. Both teams have not lost a match all season and this was a great position for the Cheetahs to play the undefeated team in the last game.
The Cheetahs were practicing very hard. They knew what they were up against.
The Cheetahs have played phenomenal in every game, improving each game with passing, controlling and trapping of the ball.
Communication was great on the field between players.
Irene Krische in goal for the game against Syosset made excellent saves, deflects and placed the Syosset offenders off course where their shots were just wide of the net at times.
Coming out of goal and forcing the player to go wide made it difficult for Syosset to score.
Daniela O’Modie in mid-defense broke up many attempts at goal from Syosset, then switching the field of play to pass to her fellow defenders Paulina Papadoniou and Channing Woo, who then would clear the ball up the field.
Great defensive plays by Channing Woo as she stayed close to the opponent and quickly faking the throw-ins.
Syosset came up with two goals but not for long as Olivia Lappin kicks a beautiful high corner kick directly in front of the net where Andrea Waldron in position was able to get her foot on the ball and blast a nice shot in goal.
Great Corner Kick Olivia! Nice Goal Andrea!
Team Cheetahs should be very proud as to get a first goal by the Syosset Sol as not one team in the division had scored upon them all season.
Great teamwork!
Excellent mid field play by Kaitlyn Louie who stayed aggressive throughout the game.
Samantha Bravo, Lauren Hessler, Kassidy Keefe and Kristina Horan played very well on the attack with nice passes and shots on goal.
Team Cheetahs took second in their division as they fell short 3-1 against Syosset.
Team Cheetahs had a great first season thanks to all their hard work and dedication.
Thank You to our great coaches: Michael Horan, Gabe Bravo & Peter Papadoniou for all your support, great insight, your time, dedication and hard work.
A special thanks to Trainer Efi who worked with each and every player each week, showed Team Cheetahs how to stay focused, positive, to have fun and that you can do it.
Thank You!
We missed teammate Julia Feldman .
