The Post's All-Queens girls soccer honors
By JOSEPH STASZEWSKI
Last Updated: 10:27 PM, December 1, 2009
Posted: 7:24 PM, November 30, 2009
M Kathryn Edwards, Archbishop Molloy
The senior was the workhorse for the Stanners. She would win balls at midfield, both in the air and on the ground. Her toughness was never doubted. Edwards, an excellent passer, was usually the one starting the attack and was an opportunist scorer.
M Ebelyse Guaranda, Cardozo
Guaranda was the player Tottenville coach George Kaplan was most impressed with because of her speed, toughness and ability to control the game after the quarterfinal loss. The junior scored 15 goals and tallied 10 assists.
M Gena Koutsounadis Francis Lewis
F Molloy's Kyra Meli is The Post's All-Queens girls soccer Player of the Year.
Even as a sophomore she was the Patriots quiet leader. She scored 12 goals and dished out nine assists, which included having a hand in four of the Patriots seven playoff goals. Koutsounadis did all that as the focus of the team’s defense and helped her squad reach the PSAL A quarterfinals.
M Melissa Lijo, Flushing
Blink and you might miss her. Lijo is extremely fast with or without the ball and can create goals out of nowhere. The sophomore tallied a remarkable 35 goals and 25 assists, leading Flushing to its second straight undefeated PSAL Class B title.
M Creshana Jones, Benjamin Cardozo
It’s hard to find someone with a better breakout season than Jones. The junior was moved from sweeper to midfield and will likely not be moving back, not after posting 21 goals and seven assists, and helping 'Dozo reach the PSAL quarterfinals. Jones is super athletic in the air and with the ball in space, and uncatchable if she breaks free.
M Deirdre Ray, Mary Louis
Coach Nicole Madtes said when the year started the talented sophomore would be the face of Mary Louis soccer for years to come. Ray didn’t disappoint. Good things always seemed to happen then the ball was at her feet. Her accurate shot and excellent foot skills caused the need for multiple defenders to mark her.
M Julia Svitsky, Forest Hills
Forest Hill coach Bob Sprance wasn’t shy about telling the people the importance of Svitsky to his inexperienced team. The junior scored just four goals, but dished out 15 assists, good for third in the PSAL. She also controlled play at midfield for a team that went 9-2 in Queens A-V.
F Fabianna Rebecca, Christ the King
The athletic sophomore was the Royals leading scorer this season with 15 goals and eight assists. Her accurate shot and breakaway speed will be paramount when the Royals more to the Nassau/Suffolk division next season.
D Francesca Rossi, St. Francis Prep
Rossi solidifying the backline was one of the major reasons St. Francis Prep became more competitive in the nightmarish CHSAA Nassau/Suffolk division. Coach John Jenkins moved the senior solely to defense after dabbling with her up front early on. Her strength and quickness to the ball made her a frustration to opposing offenses.
Honorable Mention
F Liz Cholakis, Stella Maris
GK Amanda Coll, Cardozo
F Andrea Jimenez, Flushing
D Katarzyna Kasza, Long Island City
D Sara Lijo, Flushing
M Bridgette McCalla, Thomas Edison
D Deirdre Quinlan, Archbishop Molloy
F Ashley Raaf, Stella Maris
M Cindy Rodriguez, Christ the King
M Victoria Zacharuk, Mary Louis
GK Chelsea Wynne Archbishop Molloy

Royals Cruise to the Semi Finals
11/03/2009 - 08:08 PM
|
| Player of the game Luna Siracusa |
The Lady Royals Women Varsity Soccer Team won their quarter final game by a score of 7-0 at Brennan Field today. The team came prepared and ready for the challenge and that showed immediately when Christina Viaggio scored the games first goal in the third minute of the game after receiving a pass inside the box from Guadalupe Quiroz. Quiroz in turn scored five minutes later after receiving a long throw in pass from Stephanie Pidalla. The third goal came in the 30th minute of the game on a solo effort from Fabiana Rebecca. The Royals eventually ended the first half with a fourth goal after three combination passes between Quiroz, Rebecca, and Viaggio that resulted in Quiroz's second goal of the game. Junior Ciera Sessa had an excellent game at midfield and was able to help the CK defenders when St. Saviour applied pressure. Luna Siracusa started the second half in a hurry and was able to score after receiving a give a go pass from midfield from Viaggio in the 42nd minute. Siracusa then added her second goal of the game after sprinting past the Saviour defenders and finishing with a low angled kick to the right of the goalie. The final score came in the 77th minute by Sessa after a great effort on a rebound inside the 18 yard box. The Royals next game is on Thursday November 5th at Dyker Park in Brooklyn vs. Fonte Bonne.

CK Women Varsity Soccer Clinches Second Place After 3-0 win over St. John's Prep.
10/31/2009 - 08:42 PM
|
| The 2009 CK Royals Women Varsity Soccer Team |
The Christ the King Royals Women Varsity Soccer Team clinched the second place in the BQGCHSAA League. This gave the Royals home field advantage for the quarter finals against St. Savior from Brooklyn. CK needed to win this game in order to knock Stella Maris off second place and they got it done. The actual first half of the game saw the Royals create five chances inside the 18 yard box that were wasted. The eventual first goal of the game came in the 21st minute of the game when Cindy Rodriguez sent a lob pass to fellow senior Susan Conte who was able to score from about six yards out. Forward Luna Siracusa was able to use her speed to create a final chance before the half ended, but wasn't able to finish the play with a goal. In the second half of the game the St. John's team added pressure on the CK defenders, who in turn answered with various saves most notably a sliding tackle from captain Jessica Hensel and a header from Sadira Andujar. Coach John Fayad then changed the formation to a 4-4-2 diamond and that eventually caused the team to move the ball better and create many chances that resulted in two more goals. Guadalupe Quiroz scored the second goal after receiving a long throw in from Stephanie Pidalla inside the 18 yard box. Quiroz scored a second goal after a give and go play with Fabiana Rebecca and a strong shot to finish the game in the 78th minute. The Royals will host St. Savior at Brennan Field in Middle Village on Tuesday November 3rd starting at 3:30 PM.

Royals Earn Key Win
10/27/2009 - 10:23 AM
Royals earn key win over Stella Maris
Christ the King takes advantage of early breaks, in position to claim No. 2 spot in Queens division
By JOSEPH STASZEWSKI
Last Updated: 2:01 AM, October 27, 2009
Posted: 1:39 AM, October 27, 2009
Luck didn’t seem to be on Christ the King’s side early, especially from close range. The Royals saw two point-blank shots gobbled up by Stella Maris keeper Cait Mannes and five corner kicks turn into nothing. Royals coach John Fayad called it the story of his season.
“Create, create and most of the time we miss,” he said.
One bounce of the ball changed that.
Center midfielder Cindy Rodriguez kicked a ball into the box from 35 yards. It bounced once and sailed over the head of Mannes for the game’s first goal in the 27th minute. Fabiana Rebecca, who said she knew things would go her team's way after Rodriguez’s goal, scored her first of two goals and the eventual winner off a corner that deflected off a Stella Maris defender.
“It was just dumb luck,” Rodriguez said of her score. “I don’t know, pure instinct.”
The Royals grabbed the early advantage and eventually put Stella Maris away, 6-1, in CHSAA Brooklyn/Queens girls soccer at Juniper Valley Park Monday.
The win gives Christ the King a chance to pass the Flippers for second place in the Queens division in the season’s final week. CK (7-5) has a game with St. John’s Prep left and Stella Maris (7-3-1) needs to play Fontbonne and Kearney.
Stella Maris won the first meeting, 2-1, on Sept. 28. Both teams will make the playoffs, which begin next Tuesday. It will be both teams' final season in the league. Christ the King will play in the CHSAA Nassau/Suffolk 'A' division and Stella Maris will not have a team because the school is closing due to low enrollment.
“They had the place we wanted and we had to fight for it,” Rodriguez said
Stella did pull within 3-1 on a Regina Paskoff goal. The freshman found herself open at the top of the box and drilled a shot to the top right corner from 25 yards in the 51st minute. The Royals got two scores from Guadalupe Quiroz and a goal and an assist from Christina Viaggio.
“I told them today I need them to play loose,” Fayad said. “When I put pressure on them they have underachieved.”
Christ the King’s defense played back trying to contain the speed and skill of Stella Maris stars Liz Cholakis and Ashley Raaf. The Royals kept them under wraps for the majority of the game and put continuous pressure on the Flippers' defense, especially in the first half.
“As long as our defense keeps communicating like that,” Rebecca said, then we won’t have a problem.”

| Sophomore Stephanie Abruzzo |
Getting a win was a must for the Christ the King Women Varsity Team today. CK played Stella Maris at Brennan Field at 4;00 PM in a clash for second place in the CHSAA Queens Division. The game started with both team exchanging possessions at midfield. CK broke the tie in the 9th minute when Senior Cindy Rodriguez kicked the all from a rebound about 22 yards out. Fabiana Rebecca then added a goal of her own from a direct corner kick to end the half with a 2-0 lead for CK. In the second half substitute freshman Guadalupe Quiroz scored in the 14th mionute after a give and go with Rebecca. Stella then made the score 3-1 after scoring on a lob past the jumping senior goalie Sarah Spellman. Stella kept the pressure on after the goal, but Spellman was able to stop all the chances created with the help of solid defensive plays. Rebecca then added her 15th goal of the season after receiving a pass from Christina Viaggio at midfield, sprinted past the last defender, and finished with a goal to the goalie's far post. Viaggio added another goal for CK after a give and go with Rebecca in the 35th minute of the second half. Quiroz concluded the scoring with a solo effort in the 38th minute to end the game with a 6-1 victory. The player of the game was Stephanie Abruzzo who managed to neutralize Ashley Raaf, Stella top goal scorer, throughout the game.
Our final game of the season is against St. John's Prep. at Brennan Field on Friday 10/30/2009 starting at 4:00 PM, come support our team.

| Susan Conte |
The CK Women Varsity Team played against St. Agnes at Little Bay Park in Bayside and won the game by a score of 3-0. The field conditions were terrible and prevented both teams from proper passing. CK controlled most of the first half and squandered many chances inside the penalty box. Ciera Sessa and Krystal Guzman missed two wide open shots from inside the 18 yard box as well. Guadaliupe Quiroz scored CK's first goal from a free kick from the right flank side in the 19th minute. The second half was similar to the first one with CK missing many chances until forward Fabiana Rebecca scored in the 51st minute assisted by Quiroz. The last goal of the game was started by Stephanie Abruzzo after she passed the ball between two defenders to Rebecca who in turn dribbled past two players and kicked a ball that got deflected from the goalies hand and Christina Viaggio punched it in the net at the 59th minute of the game. CK's midfielders controlled the game methodically led by senior Susan Conte.
CK's next game is against division rival Notre Dame on Wednesday October 21st at Brennan Field in Middle Village at 4;00 PM.

The CK Defensers are the reason for the 22 goal differential
10/06/2009 - 05:23 PM
|
| CK Defenders from left to right: Andrea Pintado, Sadira Andujar, Noami Lakhan, and Jessica Hensel |
The CK defenders have been a big reason why the CK Women's Varsity Soccer Team has a +22 goal differential in the 2009 season. CK has scored 30 total goals in 8 games and only allowed 8 goals this season thanks to the team's defenders. Senior Sadira Andujar, Junior Andrea Pintado, Junior Jessica Hensel, Sophomore Naomi Lakhan, Sophomore Emanuela Concordia, and Senior Stephanie Pidalla have made sure that opposing offenses are only held to an average of 1 goal per game this season. Andujar has been the silent leader among the bunch and shows great determination and atheletic ability during every game. recent communication drills at the practice field is the reason for this defensive improvement this year as well as the girls' ability to learn and improve evident in the turnaround of Pintado's play this season.

CHSAA Brooklyn/Queens girls soccer preview
Christ the King hopes to challenge lead powers Kearney and Fontbonne, Bishop Ford and Notre Dame among league's best
By JOSEPH STASZEWSKI
Last Updated: 12:54 AM, September 21, 2009
Posted: 12:44 AM, September 21, 2009
The Christ the King girls soccer team is in its final season in CHSAA Brooklyn/Queens. The Royals, who have been one of the league’s top teams, will make the move next year to Nassau/Suffolk, where Queens rivals St. Francis Prep, Mary Louis and Archbishop Molloy play.
They have a few things they would like to accomplish before they go. Christ the King fell to Fontbonne Hall in the semifinals last year.
“Our first goal this year is to win our [Queens/Manhattan] division,” fourthyear CK coach John Fayad said. “Our next goal is definitely to challenge Kearney and Fontbonne.
His team lost just two seniors and returns a talented group of sophomores. The Royals have the potential for a superb offense with sophomore Fabiana Rebecca, a 15-goal scorer, back. She will have talented players around her in senior midfielder Cindy Rodriguez, senior Forest Hills transfer Nazarine Caraccioli and sophomore forward Christina Viaggio.
“She is more of an attacking center midfielder,” Fayad said of Rodriguez. “She has the strongest foot on the team.”
Senior stopper Stephanie Pidalla and sophomore sweeper Naiomi Lakhan, who started last season, lead the defense along with junior Jessica Hensel. Fayad converted midfielder Sarah Spellman into the team’s goalkeeper.

Cindy Rodriguez made the All-City '08: CHSAA Girls Soccer
09/12/2009 - 05:16 PM
|
| Cindy Rodriguez |
BY MITCH ABRAMSON, IAN BEGLEY, MARK LELINWALLA AND EBENEZER SAMUEL DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITERS
Tuesday, December 16th 2008, 3:46 PM
PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Julie Vigliotti, Notre Dame Academy, Sr. Any time there was a play to be made, Vigliotti was there to make it. The senior midfielder shouldered the offensive load, pacing the Gators with 18 goals.
ALL-CITY
F Taylor Addison, Spellman, Fr. Considering Addison netted 36 goals as a freshman, her prospects as a sophomore should be downright scary.
D Alyssa Grecco, Notre Dame Academy, Sr. An ultra-stingy defender, Greco was a staple vocal leader, giving the Gators their bite all season.
F Caroline Jastremski, Notre Dame Academy, Sr. Totaled 11 goals and nine assists before a torn ACL in the second-to-last regular season game put her out of commission for the remainder of the year. Still, Jastremski wound up scoring the game-winning goal in that game.
M Kelsey Laro, St. Joseph by-the-Sea, Jr. Asked to mark Player of The Year Julie Vigliotti, when St. Joseph challenged Notre Dame for the Archdiocesan crown, the swift Laro more than held her own.
D Emma Pichl, Notre Dame School, Soph. Netted 28 goals and helped lead the Gators to an 11-3-1 record as a sophomore this season, all while playing sweeper. That means her defense led to instant offense.
M Natalie Rivera, Spellman, Sr. Providing constant leadership, Rivera’s six goals and 12 assists were a huge part of Spellman’s 12-0-2 finish. The senior midfielder also helped groom freshman forward Taylor Addison.
M Cindy Rodriguez, Christ the King, Jr. With eight goals and 15 assists, Rodriguez was the key in Christ the King’s competitive 10-4-1 season. Quite simply, the team was built around her. F Briana Rubilotta, St. Joseph by-the-Sea, Sr. When four of her teammates and fellow seniors were injured in a car accident five days before the Archdiocesan championship game against Notre Dame Academy, Rubilotta bravely led her team on the field. The forward scored eight goals and was expert at reading defenses.
F Colleen Ryan, Fontbonne Hall, Soph. Without the havoc Ryan wreaked against opposing defenses, the Bonnies wouldn’t have been able to finish with a 14-0 regular-season record.
D Daniela Semilia, Bishop Kearney, Jr. The Tigers dropped both regular-season meetings against the archrival Fontbonne, but Semilia made the adjustments necessary to fuel Kearney to an upset win over the Bonnies in the Brooklyn/Queens championship game.
F Samantha Wysokowski, St. Joseph’s Hill, Soph. Displayed a knack for scoring big goals in big games.
HONORABLE MENTION: Alyssa Azzinaro, St. John Villa, Soph,; Kimberly Biolsi, Spellman, Sr.; Brittney Dombrowski, Molloy, Sr.; Victoria Gurrieri, Notre Dame Academy, Jr.; Katie Henderson, Fontbonne Hall, Soph.; Kristina Iudica, Bishop Kearney, Sr.; Jackie Kelly, St. John’s Prep, Sr.; Kelly McArdle, St. Francis Prep, Sr.; Alexis Sassone, Preston, Jr.

Ridgewood Times Article October 9, 2008

| www.timesnewsweekly.com |
On Wednesday, Oct. 1, Christ the King traveled to Parade Grounds Field and defeated Bishop Ford by a 4-1 score.
The home team, Bishop Ford, started the game with a very quick goal that came in the first minute of the game. The goal was headed in after a nice cross from the right winger.
Christ the King then created a few chances, including a wide open shot from Cindy Rodriguez that was eventually saved by the Bishop Ford goalie. The first CK goal was scored by forward Nicole Capranzano on a solo effort in the 13th minute. Many chances were created right afterwards, including a one-on-one effort by Fabiana Rebecca that was kicked wide right of the keeper.
Rebecca, however, made up for the lost chance by scoring CK's second goal in the 30th minute after she reeceived the ball from fellow freshman Christina Viaggio.
The second half started with ball exchanges around midfield until Capranzano scored her second goal in the 47th minute assisted by Stephanie Pidala.
The final score of the game came in the 63rd minute by Rebecca also assisted by Viaggio, who was elec- tric on the field creating many chances and showing her dribbling abilities. Catherine Pitelli (midfield) played a very solid game especially defensively.
With the win CK stays on top of the Queens/Manhattan division with a record of 5-1-1 while Ford stays in third place in the Brooklyn division with a record of 4-2-1.
Our next game is next Monday at Con Edison Field against St. John's Prep.

All level: Christ the King, Notre Dame play to 1-1 draw
By FiveBoroSports.com September 23, 2008
The Christ the King girls' soccer team extended its unbeaten streak to four games, playing Notre Dame Academy to a 1-1 draw on Staten Island Monday afternoon.
Despite playing on the road, the Royals (3-0-1 CHSAA ‘B’) played a 4-3-3 formation and pressured the hosts from the start as Nicole Capranzano, Fabiana Rebecca, and Cindy Rodriguez each had scoring opportunities.
However it was Notre Dame that scored the first goal on a counter two minutes from halftime.
With 10 minutes left in regulation, Christ the King coach John Fayad switched to a 3-4-3 formation and the move paid immediate dividends with Rebecca setting up junior defender Stephanie Pidalla with the tying goal.
The Royals head to Brooklyn Wednesday to take on St. Edmund at 4 p.m.

CK Girls Continue On Scoring Streak
Christ the King's girls soccer team started the game with very offensive-minded approach as coach John Fayad played a 3-5-2 formation, which resulted in a quick goal by captain Cindy Rodriguez in the first minute of the game.
The Christ the King Royals girls' soccer team consists of (top row, left to right) Naomi Lakhan, Janet Zumba, Assistant Coach Donor Bermudez, Kristen Sapienza, Trainer Anton Turkovic, Ciera Sessa, Andrea Pintado, Head Coach John Fayad, Erika Petschauer, Sadira Andujar, Nicole Capranzano, Emanuela Concordia, Luna Siracusa, Assistant Coach Steven SanGiovanni, Sarah Spellman, Stephanie Abruzzo, Stephanie Pidalla, (bottom row) Krystal Guzman, Christina Viaggio, Fabiana Rebecca, Cindy Rodriguez, Catherine Pittelli and Jessica Hensel. This picture was taken on Oct.14 when Christ the King beat Cathedral 6-0.
Freshman Luna Siracusa scored CK's second goal two minutes later, assisted by Chrsitina Viaggio. Nicole Capranzano scored the third goal in the seventh minute on a solo effort. Defender Stephanie Pidala continued CK's first-half scoring in the 12th minute after she received the ball from Rodriguez inside the penalty box. Capranzano then added her 10th goal of the year in the 22nd minute assisted by Kristen Sapienza, who in finished CK's first-half scoring in the 35th minute.
In the second half CK changed their team formation to 4-4-2 and mainly controlled the middle of the field. The second half had no scoring and a few chances were squandered by CK forwards to increase the lead, but the Roayls cruised to a 6-0 win.
CK's second game in as many days, at St. Saviour's, started with many chances in the first five minutes that were kicked straight to the goalie or kicked wide of the posts. However, freshman Fabiana Rebecca was able to tap the ball into the goal after Capranzano went through the left side and provided a nice cross. The first half ended with a 1-0 score.
The home team scored in the second minute of the second half as a result of a defensive blunder by CK. The Royals responded back quickly when Capranzano scored a couple of quick goals assisted by Viaggio and Rodriguez. The final CK goal came in the 73rd minute, as Rodriguez scored assisted by Viaggio after a corner kick for the 4- 1 win.
Capranzano was the player of the game and showed tremendous speed and agility throughout the game.
