The Brooklyn Knights is soccer organization based in Maspeth, New York at the historic Metropolitan Oval field.  The club’s U20 girls team is a diverse group of girls hailing  from every borough as well as Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey ranging in age from 15 to 20 and playing successfully on the high school and collegiate levels.  Coached by Andrew FitzGerald and assisted by Pierre Cooke, these hard-working and dedicated girls have traveled and played throughout the SuperY league’s Mid-Atlantic region.  Currently the Brooklyn Knights sit in first place of their region with an undefeated record of 10 wins and one draw.  With such a stellar record, the girls have been invited to participate in the Super 20 League’s 2010 National Championships in Rockford, IL, where they will compete against topnotch teams from around the country.

Fueled by the goals of forwards Kasey Kenny (7), DK Henry (5) and Cliona O’Dwyer (4) the Knights are strong in the offensive line and difficult to defend.  Bolstered by an outstanding midfield group as well as an indomitable and consistent back line, they have the makings of national champions.

The competition at the National Championships is coordinated by the United Soccer League and the girls will play a round-robin competition for the first 3 days followed by a possible championship game on the 4th.  Good luck Brooklyn Knights girls!!
