June 16, 2016-The Longwood Herricanes shut out another Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) team, the Hicksville Wildcats, 1-0, to win the Girls-Under-12 Arch Capital Group Cup. This Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) final was played at the Peter Collins Soccer Park in Plainview on June 11.
 
The rhythmic combination of Bailey Drinkwater scoring a volley off an assist from Hailey Vitale was the only goal of the game.
 
“All our kids played 100%. They won the 50-50 balls and they played hard for all 60 minutes of the game,” commented Longwood coach Guy Vitale.
 
Hicksville received the Howard Rubenstein Sportsmanship Award as determined by the game officials. Now living in Kentucky, Mr. Rubenstein was seemingly involved in every facet of New York soccer for decades and is a member of the Halls of Fame of Eastern New York, the US Amateur Soccer Association and the LIJSL.
 
Eastern New York would like to thank our sponsor, Arch Capital Group, which writes insurance and reinsurance on a worldwide basis through operations in the United States, Bermuda, Canada and Europe, with a focus on specialty lines.
