W-League Toronto Inferno vs Rochester Ravens
by
Rocket Robin
Result of the W-League game between Toronto Inferno and Rochester
Ravens played Saturday July 29th, 2000 at Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough at
7:30pm.
This was the final regular season game of the year and Toronto
was tied with Laval Dynamite in the Northern Conference Standings when the
evening began.
2 min...Inferno GOAL Maggie Mason...An Inferno player
races down left side and sends cross into box, Julie Pigozzo feeds Mason a short
pass from the right and she rolls in a 10 yard shot to the middle of the
net.
19 min...Inferno GOAL Gwen Kilfoy...Kilfoy receives pass at 30
yards, RR goalie Leah Cornwell makes a diving point blank save on the edge of
box but the ball rebounds to Kilfoy behind goalie and she sends 7 yard shot into
empty net.
60 min...Inferno GOAL Tina Blaskovic...Blaskovic from left
side of box and she curves 20 yard shot into top right corner of net.
89
min...Inferno GOAL Maggie Mason...Mason takes a cornerkick from the left that
the Raven goalie pushes ball into own left corner of net when she ran toward
short post to prevent Inferno players from heading it in on short
side.
Final Score:....Toronto Inferno 4....Rochester Ravens
0
Toronto get 5 points for winning and scoring at least 3 goals. Their
record leaves them at 8 wins, 5 losses, 1 tie. They cannot be caught by Laval
Dynamite even if they get 5 points tomorrow because of Inferno vs Dynamites
record against each other.
Toronto Inferno have won the Northern
Conference and join the Playoff tournament this year in Raleigh North Carolina
with Raleigh, Chicago, and either Long Island or Boston.
Attendance was
about 350 people which is about triple of most games. Bet Parks and Recreation
wishes they had opened the snack bar tonight.
Maggie Mason's second goal
of the evening was similar to Diego Maradona's goal at this stadium a few years
ago at his testimonial.
Tina Blaskovic's goal was a 'goal of the season'
highlight reel calibre and was caught on camera by Matt Ross for Shaw Cable. Too
bad it will only be seen in Scarborough at 6:00pm Monday.
The players
were still signing autographs and granting interviews 45 minutes after the game
ended. The Inferno finally got their Year 2000 program published and were
selling them at the game.
I'll write up my own season summary/editorial
on my web site within a few weeks but I just want the wish the Inferno good luck
in their trip to Raleigh. Do the North proud!!!
