Final Score:........Toronto Inferno............1.......Rochester Ravens..........0.......
This was the first game Inferno has won against any fellow Division 1 team this year. They dominated this game and should have had a 3-0 halftime lead but couldn't put this team away so a late equalizer was quite possible.
Attendance was about 250 persons. About half the people stayed after the game for an photo and autograph session with the players. This event and game highlights should make the Direct Kicks show next week.
Surprize starter was the just arrived Tanya Franck from the National team who played midfield in this game.
