News from the Long Island Fury
April 20, 2010 - The Long Island Fury, defending Women's Premier Soccer League champions, is very pleased to announce that forward/midfielder Katherine Greer of Massapequa is joining the team for the 2010 season. At 17 years old, she could see action with both the women's team and the new Under-20 team.
Katie's standout soccer career includes playing for the Albertson Fury '91, Eastern New York Olympic Development Program and the Region 1 Team. In school soccer, she played for St. Anthony's High School and will be playing this fall for the University of Cincinnati Bearcats.
"Katie is a smart, crafty little dynamo who is superb around the box and in front of goal," commented Fury Director of Football Paul Riley. "She scores big goals and produces in big moments when the game is on the line. Can play with her back to goal or facing the goal, a terrific prospect and the University of Cincinnati is very lucky to have her."
Academically, Katie is a member of the National Honor Society and received the Duns Scotus Academic Award.
Founded in 2006 as a Women's Premier Soccer League franchise, the Long Island Fury won the WPSL national championship in both 2006 and 2009. Seven Long Island Fury alumnae--Gina and Tina DiMartino, Kelly Henderson, Ali Long, Rebecca Moros, Alex Singer and Sue Weber--used their phenomenal play for the Fury to become current professional players in Women's Professional Soccer. Their former coach, Paul Riley, now coaches the Philadelphia Independence franchise in that same league.
