The Tornadoes hosted the Port Washington Blue Angels at East Woods on Saturday, Nov. 13. The game was questionable due to the early 9 a.m. game start. The field was coated with a light layer of our first snow of the year in the wooded area of East Woods. Since soccer is played in all weather conditions other than Thurdering and Lightning, the game was started by the referee and the snow melted very quickly as the Tornadoes started scoring goals. Melissa Albanese had her first hat trick of the season. Bridget Jansen, Katie O'Brien, Erin Allen and Allison Bliven followed with nice goals. The Tornadoes had total control of the game. The defensive players were superb totally shutting down any threat attempted. FULL STORY
