The Sleepy Hollow Football Club - Week 4

Coaches Weidner and Gallagher prepare the Warriors for a recent game.

On October 4th the Sleepy Hollow Football Club took to wet fields for a full day of soccer thanks to the hard work of the field crew.

Below are game updates provided by the coaches.

U9 Girls – Blaze

The Blaze earned a hard fought 3-0 victory over the North Salem Strikers.
The Blaze controlled the ball, but was scoreless for most of the first half. The Strikers crowded the box and denied great shots. Ashley Richardson finally broke through with a first goal off a rebound and a second on a breakaway assisted by Zoey Murphy.
It was the best team effort of the season. Great games from Gabby Disney as a stopper, Michayla Benuscak with far throw-ins and Siiri Lipping in goal with several one on one saves.
Kayla McGuigan had the play of the game with a strong move to the corner, pivot at the goal line and a strike to the far post for the third goal.
The Blaze play the Rye Havoc in two weeks.

U0 Boys – Dutchman

The Dutchmen played a tough and competitive game against a strong Yonkers team. The final score was a 2-1 loss with Ares Economides scoring the one Dutchmen goal. The Dutchmen actually put an equalizer in the front corner of the Yonkers net, but the officials missed it and did not count the goal. The boys continued to play hard and put a lot of pressure on the Yonkers goalie but could not breakthrough again. The Dutchmen had strong play in goal by Daniel Anderson and Sam Labovitz.

U9 Boys - Firebolts

Last weekend’s game against FC Somers Grandoli was a well-balanced game, fought in the midfield with each team trying to keep possession of the ball.
The Firebolts played a good defense led by Jack Levine and Dylan Patsch keeping the ball away from our goalie. There were two great assists by Wolfgang Cook and Oliver González.
In the second half our goalie Bryan Jiménez had a couple of good saves.
We managed a 5-1 hard earned victory with goals scored by, Brandon Arevalo Brandon Quituisaca and Nico Mayor.
The team is focused on its passing game and improving game after game.
Firebolts next game will be against Chappaqua United Silver at Amsterdam Park on 10/18 at 3:45 pm.

U10 Boys – Sentinels

The Sentinels got a fast start with a nice strike from Andrew Pulla off a pass from Ben Zifchock at the 2 minute mark. Devin Chimbo added another one a few minutes later. Robert Disney smashed the ball from outside the 18 over the head of the Dragon’s keeper. Robert added another one on a very similar play right before half time. The Dragons came back with a tally of their own right after half time but Lang Cawley replied to put the score at 5-1. Kallen Fairley pulled in a rebound and hammered it home before the final whistle. A very nice game for the Sentinels with great team work and passing. The Sentinels will face the Crew in Chapaqua Sunday October 18th

Hugo Jercinovic and Declan McCarthy played keeper but defense from John Arnegger, Eli Krajovan & Luke Wuerffel kept the scoresheet clean. Warriors are 3-1-0 and face sister club Rivertowns Rapid next.

U11 Girls – Cyclones

On Sunday, the Cyclones improved to 4-0, winning 6-2 against the Edgemont Sparks.

Thalia Tsilibes scored three goals, Samuella Schroeder scored two goals and Diana Cordero scored her first goal as part of the Cyclones. The team continues to improve their passing, team defense and spacing on the field each week. The Cyclones next play on October 18th, at Mt Pleasant against the Mt Pleasant Gunners.

U11 Boys – Legends

The Legends went to Randall’s Island in NYC on the weekend and came away with a 4-0 win over Manhattan Valencia. Keepers Justin and Max combined for the clean sheet and the defense was resolute (Massimo, Nikhil and Brandon in particular) against a physical NY side. Julian scored first, with Brandon leading Hernan with a beautiful through ball for the 2nd. No 3 came from a pass from Kyan with Max finishing smartly to the corner and the last saw Javier finishing off a cross from Kenneth.

U13 Girls – Mustangs

The Mustangs’ Division 3 Championship hopes took a hit when they fell to undefeated Castleford 1-0 at Pelham High School.
