by Rocket Robin

Result of the A-League Toronto Lynx vs Aurora Hearts (OSL) played at Saturday May 12th, 2001 2:00pm at Highland Park in Aurora Ontario. This was the final tuneup game for the Lynx before their regular season begins next Saturday at Varsity Stadium.

Lynx starting lineup:

...........Theo Zagar
Adrian Serioux...Marco Reda...Mauricio Vincello
..............Lyndon Hooper
Robbie Aristodemo...Brian Ashton...David DiPlacido...Chris Pozniak
....Kristian Grzetic...Francisco Dos Santos

This was close to an official game as there were three officials and Lynx wore their circa 1997 uniforms instead of sweatshirts.

1st Half:
39 min...Lynx Serioux GOAL...Serioux gets a hard 12 yard blast to center of net over sprawling goalie after he had passed ball over to DiPlacido in box who touched ball back to him after eluding defender.

2nd Half:
Lynx subs:...Joe Mattacchione replaced Hooper

47 min...Lynx Pozniak GOAL...Pozniak touches 3 yarder to right corner of net after Dos Santos passes over after running into box.

57 min...Lynx sub...Nicky Boulich (sp) wearing a knee brace is in at wing replacing Pozniak.

68 min...Lynx sub...Caswain Mason replaces DiPlacido.

72 min...Lynx sub...Bobby Rendhawa replaces Aristodemo, Ryta replaces Vincello.

81 min...Lynx Ashton GOAL on Penalty kick...Ashton rolls ball into right corner of net as goalie frozen on his spot. (Grzetic had been brought down in the box by goalie).

Final Score:....Toronto Lynx.....3....Aurora Hearts.....0

The referee gave out two Yellow cards in this game which was rougher than the other Lynx preSeason games this season. Serioux picked up the Lynx Yellow.

Attendance was about 150 people. The weather had extremely gusty winds on a cool afternoon which may have kept the crowds thin and my notes to a minimum.
There was no gate admission price but money was raised at the barbecue and raffle tables for the woman whose family was killed in a housefire a few months ago.
