Amityville Soccer

The Tsunami (U13) had a great 1-0 victory over Bayport on November 18th. Jade Gaynor was brilliant in goal as usual and the rest of the team also contributed. Shannon Rafsol put one in the upper corner of the net for the lone Tsunami goal and Grace Blackler, Sam Stein and Emily Brennan were strong on defense.

The U12 Surf Finish on TOP! They took 1st Place Division 6E with a 7-2 record. The girls finished the season with two thrilling 1-0 wins over HBC Eliminators and the North Babylon Blitz. Sarah O'Neill guarded the net all season long, allowing only 4 goals and notching five shutouts. Sarah Bennett, Sofie Duarte, Brianna Renda helped keep the goalie with their tenacious defense. The midfield was tough with great plays by Lauryn Pfeifer, Paige O'Neill, Brittany Steele, Madison Fulford, Anastasia Fitzgerald, and Kate Schmidt. The offense was aggressive all season, thanks to hard work by Faith Daley, Annie Gilligan, Morgan Jaycox, Jackie Oill, Kelly Roache and Katrina Pastore. Congratulations to Coach Brian Bennett and his assistants Kevin Daley and Eduardo Duarte.

After a difficult start, the U12 Riptide finished strong with 2 wins and a tie. On the coldest day of the season the Riptide played a rough 2-0 win over the West Islip Blue Crush. Casey O'Neill scored the first goal of the game on a beautiful cross from Kelly Siry. Morgan Seeberger got the insurance goal late in the game on a corner kick. The final game of the season saw the girls traveling out to Sound Beach for a well played 2-2 tie. The Riptide goals were by Jenny Pescatelli and Morgan Seeberger. The teammates who contributed to the winning ways include Rachel Allstadt, Olivia Booth, Nicolette Dammacco-Charles, Katerina Duarte, Sam DeVecchis, Sarah Dubinsky, Riley Hatt, Christina Marotta, Shannon McCann, Allie McDonough and Bianica Steele. Thanks go to Coach Donna Seeberger and her assistants Dennis Siry and Mike O'Neill.

Another season has ended and Coach Seeberger sends out a great big thank you to the parents and players of the U11 MetroStars (9- 1-1). With each game they learned, improved and continue do enjoy and embrace the passion of soccer. His proudest moments were those many weeks when they played without substitutes, running for 60 minutes and still going out with a win. The sportsmanship demonstrated by all the teams in the league was exceptional.

The "Herricanes" (U11) finished the season with a decisive 4-0 victory over Sag Harbor. All players contributed to the win. Kelly Hughes and Brittany Seimer were tough on defense while the offense was led by Janine Hernandez (2 goals), Cassidy Rafsol and Cassie Kretz (1 goal each).
