TOP Soccer

On a great day for soccer, the turnout was outstanding and the excitement was electric. Scoring was the name of the game as goals were going in at a record pace. The junior match was evenly balanced with Ryan McCurry and Joshua Niewierowski leading the blue team with 3 goals each. Mike Antonoff rounded out the scoring with 2 more tallies. However, the red team was not to be outdone as they had 4 individual scorers. Joe Allocco had a "hat trick", while Paul Niewierowski and Samantha Powell each added 2 goals. Robbie Valli finished things off with one more goal. The senior game was just as exciting with a ton of goals. Andrew Abberton was unstoppable with 5 goals for the blue team. Matt Saraiva pitched in with 2 more rockets that almost ripped holes in the net. Stefani Egre was outstanding for the red team with 4 goals. Three separate players added one goal each to knot the game at 7-7. Alex Schneider, Eugene Simmons and one team goal closed out one of the most offensively productive days ever. Kerri Abberton, heading to her prom later in the day, still managed to find some time to lead our practice. Great job. Thanks to all the new coaches who have been volunteering each week. We have been able to "buddy" up all our athletes. Rich Bletsch, Director

Valerie Loffredo continued to play strong in the defensive end supporting her teams strong goaltending. Ashley Willoughby and Sarahelena Barrios were super in the offensive zone using teamwork to create many scoring opportunities.

The ThunderCats and the Little Princesses played another tough and competitive soccer game on Sunday. Both teams played their hearts out and had a lot of fun. The offense did a great job this week by pressing the ball into our offensive end for a lot of scoring opportunities. Camille Bangug, Jillian Clark, and Alana Leahy all played an excellent offensive game. The offense was backed up by our equally strong defense. The ThunderCats brick wall defense was fortified by the strong play of Emily Park, Allison Schillinger, and Bridgette Stacom. Backing up our strong defense were our 2 goaltenders who both turned in an outstanding effort this week. Eva Chan and Daniella Fusaro both played great in goal for the ThunderCats. We missed Emily Smith who was out sick, hopefully she'll be back for next week. Great job to all the girls. Keep up the good work soccer players!

Amanda Cavallaro was precise in her passes and placed a beautiful shot just outside the post, just missing a goal.! Jennifer McHale had another excellent day on the field and in the Keeper spot along with Maria Decrescenzo who made some super saves.

The Thunder Cats vs. The Super Chargers - The Super Chargers came out strong, putting a lot of pressure on the Thunder Cats Goal keeper. The Keeper was up to the task stopping wave after wave of attacks. (I counted 9 saves in the first 10 minutes of the game.) However the Chargers were first to get on the board with a outstanding pass from Angelina Gambino to Emma Innella who buried the ball into the back of the net. Game Capt.and 1st Star of the game Amanda Nugent, held The Thunder Cats scoreless in the 1st half.

Rachel Krieger (5 Saves) and defensive support by Jessica Licari, Emma Innella, Amanda Nugent, Dana Davis and Angelina Gambino held the Thunder Cats to one

Lady Tigers 3 Corner Kickers 2 - This was one of the most enjoyable played game watched by both sets of parents on Sunday. This game went down to the wire. All credit must go to the Corner Kickers who played one heck of a game. For the Lady Tigers this was a team performance. There were three cracking goals scored by Julianne (2) and girl of the hour Erin (1). The goalkeepers in Marissa and Gianna were superb. The defense in Emma and Ashley just stopped everything that came their way. The midfield in Alexandria, Megan and Brianna just ran their little hearts out all day. Great team performance girls

Coco Girls 3 Shooting Stars 5 - On a chilly Center Street field the Coco Girls and Shooting Stars served up an entertaining game of soccer to those in attendance. This game was a first in all of soccer history, in that two ducks (mother and daughter) made their debut in a competitive game. Although they were a little short on soccer technique and their fitness levels needed work, they displayed some nice moves, giving their all, but ultimately having no influence on the game's outcome. An historic occasion indeed. The Shooting Stars fielded a strong defense that gave away little to the Coco Girls until the second half. In goal we had strong performances by Christie and Andrea who threw themselves at everything making some fine saves. In defense we had strong outings from Jennifer, Emily G. and Lisa. These girls played well together holding their positions and covering for each other. In midfield Emily R. and Ailish ran their hearts out with Ailish causing the opposition many headaches and notching two fine goals. In offense Nicole played well today and crashed a fine goal into the net for her first of the season. Good game girls.

They took countless shots and scored quite a few goals with the help of the midfield. Midfielders Kenneth Choy, Aseer Amin and Ricky Schlueck kept the pressure on and were all over the field, helping out the defense and passing the ball up to the forwards.

Kyle Tripptree chipped one in also. The mighty Blackburn came right back and tied things up.That's when our great goalkeeper, Mike Marini stepped in and made an unbelievable save. That got things started. Matt Perno took the ball upfield to Nick Perrone for the one timer and the lead. Joe Carbone added his hat-trick off of Nick's corner kick. John Tripptree and Alex Montoni kept up tremendous pressure and their work led to opportunities for Arsenal. A very well played game, perfect passing, denying defense and great goalkeeping. Keep up the team effort.
