NYAC Shuts Out the Long Island Fury, 2-0 The Mid-Atlantic Division-leading New York Athletic Club shut out the Long Island Fury, 2-0, on Travers Island today. With the win, NYAC improves to 3-0-1 while the Fury drop to 0-1-1 in the young Women’s Premier Soccer League season. The Fury has not scored a goal in the two games they have played this season. “It’s the same story as the last game against Millburn in that we dominated possession, had the better defensive play, had the better midfield play but it means nothing if you cannot put the ball in the net,” lamented Long Island Fury head coach Michael Demakis. “With our lack of finishing, we keep teams in the game and they grow more confident as the game goes on.” Long Island turns around quickly as they play at their sister team, the New York Fury, this Wednesday night, June 15 at Aviator Field in Brooklyn. Kick-off is set for 8:30 pm. Founded in 2006 as a Women's Premier Soccer League franchise, the Long Island Fury won the WPSL national championship in both 2006 and 2009. Seven Long Island Fury alumnae--Gina and Tina DiMartino, Kelly Henderson, Ali Long, Rebecca Moros, Alex Singer and Sue Weber--used their phenomenal play for the Fury to become professional players in Women's Professional Soccer. Their former coach, Paul Riley, now coaches the Philadelphia Independence franchise in that same league. For more info, log on to their website, http://www.lifurysoccer.com/
