Forward Jasmyne Spencer
Spencer might be just over five foot tall, but when it came to scoring important goals for the past four seasons for the Long Island Fury, nobody came up bigger than her. Her blazing speed gave fits to WPSL defenders. The Bay Shore resident led the Fury with eight goals and three assists in 2007, seven goals with two assists in 2008 and four goals and four assists in 2009. Injured much of the 2010 season, she had one goal and one assist plus had six goals and three assists in 2011. She was named to the All-East Conference Team in 2008 plus was honored twice as BigAppleSoccer.com Player of the Week.
In the 3-2 playoff victory over the Connecticut Reds on July 18, 2007, Spencer scored two goals. She was also tripped inside the penalty area by the Reds goalkeeper leading to the Fury's other goal, by Katelynn Donovan, on a penalty kick. After the match, Spencer signed autographs for girls while answering questions from a reporter. She says that game was her best moment on a soccer field.
"Jaz's vast technical improvement over the last three years combined with her undoubted speed has resulted in a first-class forward. She understands her role, brings teammates into the game and is a great target for midfielders," Director of Football Paul Riley commented. "She is a menace around the box and we expect major goal production from her again this year."
Spencer also plays for the University of Maryland Terrapins as well as the Albertson Fury '90 of the Long Island Junior Soccer League. Fury '90, four-time State Cup champs, is the number one-ranked team in New York State and is ranked fourth nationally. 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 Cup and Las Vegas College Showcase.
At the University of Maryland last fall, she wasselected All-Atlanticv Coast Conference First Team, All-Southeast Region plus All-American Second Team.
At Bay Shore High School, Spencer was twice honored All-New York State in soccer and was voted MVP of the varsity team. She also received the Unsung Hero Award for Bay Shore High School lacrosse, was four-times All-County runner and was the Suffolk County champion in pentathlon. Academically, Spencer made the honor roll all four high school years, was a member of the National Honor Society, received the New York State President's Award and Academic All-American honors as well as being honored as New York State Scholar/Athlete all four years. |
