"Sam is a speedy striker with great athletic ability. She is a handful for most defenders and I am very hopeful she can make the next step up the ladder to the Long Island Fury," commented Long Island Fury Director of Football Paul Riley. "She has a blistering shot and can change a game in an instant."

The Jericho resident also played for Jericho High School as well as for the Long Island Junior Soccer League's Albertson Fury '90. She describes her best moment on a soccer field as "scoring the first goal in my first State Cup final championship game with Albertson, vs. Rockville Centre in 2008."

At Jericho High, the awards kept on coming as she was honored as Rookie of the Year in 2005, All-Conference in 2006, All-Class in 2007, All-County and Most Outstanding Player of the Year in 2008. Falk now plays for the University of Miami Hurricanes.

She is fun to be around and "loves making people laugh and entertaining people."
