Two championships for South Side soccer

Posted

 

They’re partying like it’s 1999 in Rockville Centre.


South Side captured its first Nassau boys’ soccer championship in 10 years on Wednesday at Adelphi, knocking off previously undefeated Garden City in the Class A final, 1-0, in double overtime on a goal by junior Ben Tetelman.


Tetelman’s first-ever varsity goal, from 25 yards out, floated over the outstretched arms of leaping Trojans goalkeeper George Spanos and into the net exactly one minute into the second 15-minute OT period. “It’s something I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” Tetleman said.


Senior goalkeeper Paul Casazza was spectacular, making 16 saves for the team’s eighth shutout in a row.  It was the Cyclones’ fourth consecutive 1-0 playoff win and their third straight in overtime. They’ll face either Comsewogue or East Hampton in the Long Island Class A championship game at noon on Saturday at Hofstra.

South Side’s girls’ soccer team captured its 13th straight Nassau County title on Wednesday with a 4-0 victory over sixth-seeded Division in the Class A championship game at Tully Park in New Hyde Park.

The top-seeded Lady Cyclones were paced by two first-half goals from junior Jackie Cifarelli and second-half tallies from seniors Crystal Dunn and Jackie Nicholas. Goalkeeper Mersina Onesto made three saves. They advanced to play for the Long Island Class A title against Hauppauge at Tully Park this Saturday at 10 a.m.
