McNicoll opens scoring for Lady Lynx.TORONTO -- The Toronto Lady Lynx got goals by Kirsty McNicoll, Zakiya McIntosh and Christine Exeter to take 
a 3-2 victory against the Hamilton Rage on Wednesday afternoon.

Playing in only her second W-League game at the tender age of 17, McNicoll opened the scoring on a perfect 25-yard shot. McNicoll stepped inside the 
defender and drove the ball into the top corner past the Hamilton keeper’s outstretched arms.

Zakiya McIntosh added a second for the Lynx with a well-placed shot in the bottom corner of the net after a great pass from Exeter, but Hamilton scored 
just before half time to make the score 2-1 at the break.

Hamilton then scored the equalizer early in the second half with a shot that was deflected by a Toronto defender and past Toronto keeper Victoria Mucilli 
who was left wrong-footed.

But Mucilli was integral to the moment that saw the Lynx grab victory as she saw Exeter one-on-one with a defender and quickly kicked the ball down 
the middle. Exeter, who was named the Big East Rookie of the Year last fall, headed the ball over the Hamilton keeper for what proved to be the 
game-winner.

The Lady Lynx next play Laval on Sunday at 1 p.m.
