Three (3) FC Napoli Champions / Memorial weekend Tournament FC Napoli GU18 HEAT, GU14 Sparks and the GU13 Wildfire all win the 2009 JSMT Elite Tournament in their respective age groups. Two other FC Napoli teams, the GU18 Hawks and the BU12 Raze, both were finalists in their divisions. All FC Napoli Teams played in the Elite divisions, top division in the tournament..
The U18 HEAT beat the Souhegan United (NH) Region One team in the opener by a score of 3-0. They then played the Boston/Dorchester Soccer Club beating them by a score of 9-0. On Sunday they played a well coach talented Bruno United team squeezing out a victory by a score of 3-2 to advance to the GU18 playoff. In the Semi Finals the Napoli HEAT again face off with Souhegan United (NH). The HEAT again scores 3 while Keeper Melissa Cowan records her 3rd tournament shutout. In the finals Napoli was matched against Simmons Premier Soccer Club of central CT, currently undefeated in the CT Premier league including two State Cup victories. Simmons walked throughout the Tournament scoring 11 goals and giving up only 3 as they entered the Championship game vs the Napoli HEAT. The Championship match ended in regulation as a 0-0 draw (Melisa Cowan’s 4th shutout of the tournament and seventh shutout of the spring season); the OT also ended in a 0-0 draw, so onto PK’s to decide the 2009 JSMT Tournament Champion. In dramatic fashion Dee Leary stepped in at goal making spectacular saves on the 1st and 2nd Simmons shooters, (something many of us can remember Dee doing against Western United at CRU park when she stopped the final PK that placed the HEAT into MAPLE some 4 yrs ago). The 3rd Napoli PK taken by Kate Cataldo hit the back right corner net to put Napoli up 1-0. Simmons hit shot #3 (tying the game at 1), Jess Berthiaume then slammed one in for Naps while the forth Simmons PK blast also found the back of the net (tied 2-2). Melissa Cowan took the 5th Napoli PK placing a "Ronaldo" style legal feint move that froze the keeper as Melissa placed the ball far right. Simmons then missed high on its final attempt and the FC Napoli HEAT won its 2nd JSMT Championship (2004 & 2009).
The GU14 FC Napoli Sparks, playing in the GU15 Elite division, claimed its championship by first beating Black Magic (3-2) in the 8:00am Saturday morning opener. Goals were scored by Emily Dawidczyk (2) and Erin Scanlon on an outstanding header from a cross by Dinnea Digrigoli. The second Sparks game vs Nashoba United was played to a 1-1 draw, the FC Napoli goal was scored by Jenna Scanlon with about 2 minutes remaining in the match. The third match game featured the GU15 Port Wash Power of Connecticut against the Napoli Sparks. The Napoli goals came in batches as scoring came from 5 different players, Ashley Naugler, Emily Dawidczyk, Maegan Hernberg, Emily Becher and two by Jenna Scanlon. The Sparks won by a score of 6-0. The final game, ultimately the Championship game as both teams entered the match undefeated, was against the GU15 Granite FC Elite from NH. Jenna Scanlon got credit for the goal as the Napoli pressure caused the ball to deflect off two Granit United players before bouncing into the back of the net just before the end of the first half. The second half saw the Napoli defense, lead by Sweeper Erin Scanlon and Keeper Jordann Hauge (2 shutouts in the tournament) lockout the rock solid Granite United attack. The Napoli defensive Backs and Stoppers, Gina Manzi, Morgan Lasewicz & Kylie Lowe, closed out the quick Striker play of the talented Granite Forwards. The 1-0 final placed the FC Napoli Sparks atop the GU15 Elite Division and presented them with the 2009 JSMT Championship. The FC Napoli Sparks will play in the MAPLE Tournament on June 6th & 7th at Citizens Bank Field at Progin Park in Lancaster.
The GU13 FC Napoli Wildfire, also playing up an age group, took the GU14 Elite division by storm sweeping the tournament and finishing it off with a strong victory in the finals. On Saturday, the first GU13 FC Napoli Wildfire game of the tournament was easily won by a score of 8-2. The Wildfire saw a festival of goals against the Simmons Soccer Club. This game was followed by a another strong Napoli showing as the girls beat the Souhegan United by a score of 3-0. By Sunday the girls were on course and focused for success. As the 8:00am Sunday match opened up against Pepperell United it was obvious from the first moments that both teams were ready to play. Coach Ed said " despite the tie this was the best game the Wildfire have played in a long time". There were some scoring opportunities on both sides, but despites the domination in midfield by the Wildfire, the match ended in a draw. With both teams still undefeated for the tournament would place both into the Tournament finals. So at 1:00pm Sunday The GU13 FC Napoli Wildfire and the GU15 Pepperell United teams squared up on the pitch for second time in five hours to decide the GU15 Tournament Champion. The Wildfire wasted no time getting it going as Danny Stone scored early in the first half to give the team a lead they would not relinquish. The second Wildfire goal when Maggy Simmone secured the win by scoring from a perfectly placed corner kick from Meghan Dunn. This 2-0 win gave the Wildfire their consecutive Memorial Day tournament championship (Nashua 2008, JSMT 2009). The FC Napoli Wildfire will play in the MAPLE Tournament on June 6th & 7th at Citizens Bank Field at Progin Park in Lancaster. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

FC Napoli HEAT ride the RI Wave The RI Tidal Wave arrived at their home field Rehoboth location, Bliss Park, with an undefeated record and un-scored upon in almost a year (since May 4th of 2008). They left the 95 degree Blistering Park with their first loss of the season while allowing two goals to the (also undefeated since May 4th 2008) FC Napoli GU18 HEAT.The RI Wave keeper made numerous circus like stops all match but Dee Leary (Bentley College fall 2009) and Kristen Lackman (East Conn. College fall 2009) each found the back of the net to secure the Napoli victory.Both Napoli goals came on set plays. The first a direct from about 30 yds out. The HEAT got a chip behind the RI Wave defenders to an attacking Dee Leary who volleyed the ball into the top of the net hand cuffing the Wave goalie. "It was a perfectly executed well timed play" Coach Bailey said. The second goal came off another direct kick nearly 40 yds out. With the HEAT attack creating lots of motion in front of the RI Wave net Kristen Lackman hit a power blast into the upper far post corner past the out stretched hands of the Wave Keeper. With the Rehoboth Bliss Park heat reaching 95+ the HEAT were able to navigate through the strong Wave attack in the final 15 minutes of the match. The Wave had eighteen shots on goal thirteen in the last 15 minutes. Coach Bailey said "It was nice to be able to come down here in the oppressive heat & humidity and play this well against a very solid RI Tidal Wave team. It really shows the type of athletes we have. Last week we spotted two to the Stars, but then two goals off the right foot of Attack Striker Colleen Soper (UMass Lowell fall 2009) neutralized the outcome. This week we have two defensive players find the back of the net. This win keeps us undefeated for the season and places us in the driver’s seat for the home stretch. If we can stay healthy and stay focused we should continue to be successful".The FC Napoli HEAT team has been together since 2003 (GU13) and in the last five MAPLE league seasons (32 games to date), has only experienced defeat twice. Three MAPLE league games remaining for this team, let’s hope the last three are the best.The HEAT take on the high powered offense of New Hampshire's Granite United next Sunday at 1:00pm at Marianapoli. Granite United leads the division in goals scored. The HEAT have the best goal differential in the division, so it should be quite a match. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hawks Flying High The FC Napoli Hawks have gotten off to an excellent start to their spring season. An overall strong team effort has seen the Hawks score 9 goals and give up 1. In their first game against Inter (a 6 - 0 win), the Hawks broke open a close game (1-0 lead at the half) with 5 more unanswered goals. The Hawks received balanced scoring with goals from Melissa Leonard (2), Lori Cloninger (2), Lauren Cadrin, and Dani Mitchell. In the second game, the Hawks carried the play to the SF Vikings, resulting in 2 first half goals by Melissa Leonard off of a direct kick and Kayla Mastovich who put in a nice left footed bending shot in the top corner off of a cross. It could easily have been more as strikers Jessica De St Croix and Michelle Thompson harassed the Viking defense all game. Lori Cloninger finished the scoring off of a nice through pass. In addition to the offense, the defense has been excellent allowing only the 1 goal. The defense is led by goalie Kim Nichol, sweeper Emily Luukko, stopper Cheslea Contre, backs Brooke Garvey, Rachel Collins, as well as Jen Treat and Olivia Burrill. Haley Chesson and Melissa Leonard have provided strong support at back, center mid and outside mid where needed.
