Final Score:.........Toronto Inferno..........1.........Boston Renegades........2.....
Attendance was about 200. I did not know where this game would be played until the beginning of the week. All remaining home games will be played at Birchmount Stadium in Scarborough.
The Renegades dominated most of the game. Last year's matchup in Toronto was a 5-0 victory for the Renegades.
Tina Blaskovic was in the lineup as she was a late cut on the World Cup bound Canadian National team. Tanya Franck is still on that team as a defender. The other National team roster player won't be playing at the World Cup nor Inferno games is Helen Strombos who was showing off her knee operation scars to friends and family in the stands.
