It's that time of year where we begin to assemble our&nbsp;annual list of Long Island’s first-time goal scorers in girls varsity soccer. 
 The list will continue to grow as we update it throughout the season. Coaches, if we are missing one of your goal scorers, e-mail us at <a href="mailto:Michael.gavin@newsday.com">Michael.Gavin@newsday.com</a>&nbsp;and <a href="mailto:Laura.Albanese@newsday.com">Laura.Albanese@newsday.com</a> so we can include them.&nbsp; Also, be sure to follow us on Twitter at&nbsp;@MikeGavin7 and @AlbaneseLaura for all things girls soccer.
