News from the Long Island Fury

June 20, 2009, Enfield, Connecticut-Westbury's Karin Simonian scored the only goal of the game off an assist from Vicki DiMartino of Massapequa Park in the 30th minute as the Long Island Fury defeated the New England Mutiny, 1-0 tonight in Connecticut. The Fury stay undefeated at 5-0-0 while the Mutiny are now 1-4-0.

Fury keeper Jillian Mastroianni, playing in her home state, made five saves for the shut out, including a brilliant one with 20 minutes left.

"The Mutiny played very well and we are delighted with the win, especially since we have never won here. We showed character again with the win," commented Fury head coach Paul Riley. "Our very young midfield of Deanna Murino, Cari Roccaro and Karin Simonian, average age of 15, was the difference."

"All our games this year have been very close," Coach Riley concluded.

The next game is Wednesday night, June 24 at Adelphi University's Competition Field in Garden City. At 6 pm, the Fury play the 2-3-1 Millburn Magic while their men's team, the 2-0-1 Long Island Academy, entertain the 0-3-0 Morris County Colonials at 8 pm.

ALBERTSON SOCCER CLUB WAS THE big winner of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Spring Showcase, the Memorial Day weekend event in Sarasota, Fla. The New York club was the only one of 73 Academy clubs taking part in the five-day event to win all six games, three each in the under-17/18 and under-15/16 age groups.

Albertson was one of four clubs ranked in the Top 10 in the U-17/18s to win all three games in that age group. It also won all three games in the U-15/16 age group. Other Top 10 U-17/18 teams to win all three games were the No. 1 Derby County Wolves, FC Delco and D.C. United.

Coached by former U.S. U-20 international Adrian Gaitan, Albertson leads the U-17/18 Northeast Division with a 12-1-1 record and is assured of advancing to 32-team Academy Playoffs June 26-29 at Bryan Park in Greensboro, N.C.

Albertson Fury 90s Sends 20 to Play Soccer in College With $1.5 Million in Scholarships

The Albertson Soccer Club is thrilled to announce that the players on the Albertson Fury 90 team have attained $1.5 million in college scholarships.

"The scholarships are just one aspect of their accomplishments," commented Fury 90 team manager Michael Bruh. "Many of the players have been able to attend schools they never would have been able to without adding soccer on their résumés."

The four-time State Cup champions are currently ranked fourth in the nation. Fury 90 were National Elite Women's Soccer Showcase (NEWSS) champs in 2007, Jefferson Cup champs in both 2006 and 2007 plus Raleigh Shootout champions in 2006. They have also been finalists in the Regionals, the Disney Showcase (2009) and Las Vegas College Showcase.

"We are very proud to see so many of our players going to top class programs and highly-regarded academic institutions," said Paul Riley, the head coach of both the Long Island Fury and Albertson Fury 90. "These Furyites have worked relentlessly to reach their goals both on and off the field and I'm really excited to see them play college soccer."

Fury 90's most well-known player, Vicki DiMartino, is the first American player to score in five consecutive matches at a World Cup event, which she did at last autumn's Under-17 Women’s World Cup, and her six goals won the Silver Boot as the second-best scorer in the tournament.

Here are all the Albertson Fury 90 players, and the college that they will be attending:

Seven Fury 90 players--Bruh, DiMartino, Haller, Hodak, Ippolito, Rose and Spencer--played for the Long Island Fury of the WPSL last year against much older opponents and led that local squad to the Mid-Atlantic Division championship of the Women's Premier Soccer League.

The awards continue as Molly Bruh was honored as Nassau County's 2008 Scholar/Athlete of the Year. Meredith Maguire, Alexa Purdy, Kim Rose and Kelcey Zacareses received Scholar/Athlete Awards as well. Bruh and Jenny Butwin played for Albertson as 4-year-old Munchkins and are very proud of the fact that Riley has coached them for the past 15 years.

"It will be an emotional good-bye when the Fury 90 players leave but we have had an amazing and memorable journey and I'm sure all of us will remember the journey plus the team's success. The Fury 90 have made a tremendous impact on this age group both on a State and National level," Coach Riley concluded. "They are a special team and I'm convinced we will be hearing a lot about them over the next four years. They have been brilliant in representing the Fury program and will now carry the mantle to their next college home."
