ST.
CATHARINES--Montreal Dynamites were delivered a knockout blow by the home team
and the home crowd in playoffs here tonight, going down 2-1 to St. Catharines
Roma Wolves in a Wild Card one-game decider for a berth in tomorrow's
semi-finals of the Rogers Cup and the championship of the CPSL.
The loss
was a particular blow for the Montreal team after securing fourth place and
entry to the playoffs, but the rules call for the host team to be given one more
opportunity if they fail to finish in the top four.
Montreal took the
lead after 18 minutes on a goal by Kyriakos Selaidopoulos, but St. Catharines'
most prolific scorer all year, Frank Zumpano tied the game with his 15th of the
season right on half-time. Gary McGutchan scored the winner 20 minutes into the
second half and while Montreal pressed for an equalizer late in the second half
they were reduced to 10 men when Arius Roldege was ejected from the game.
St. Catharines meet Ottawa Wizards in the second semi-final Saturday, a
3 p.m. kickoff which is preceded by the Toronto Olympians vs. Toronto Supra
semi-final clash at 1 o'clock.
The final goes on Sunday at 2.
