Final Score:....Toronto Inferno.....1.....Chicago Cobras.......7
Attendance was about 225 persons, the largest crowd of the season despite the game time being moved up from 4pm to 3pm on short notice on this holiday weekend so the Cobras could catch a plane.
Charmaine Hooper scored three goals. The press in attendance changed their leads after Hooper's third goal as they were saying she had a bad game.
Chicago completes their season with a perfect 14-0 record.
Inferno had no bench strength, just scraping by with 11 starters and Portia Barriffe who was injured as a sub so they tired in the second half.
I'll try to come up with an editorial of the Inferno season in the next week or so. I'll say I was the only reporter who saw all seven Inferno home games...so beware of all those reports you read by the journalist pros who judge a team after watching just one game!!
