Result of the Sunday June 24, 2012 W-League game
between Toronto Lady Lynx and Ottawa Fury
played at Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke at
1:00pm.

65 min...Fury Ashley Seal GOAL...OF Kelly Conheeney

right with foot at 15 yards in crowd of players
to Seal who rolled ball into center of net from
8 yards on the right past goalie Lauren Kadat.

Final Score:......Toronto Lady Lynx.....0....
Ottawa Fury......1..............

Attendance was about 60 on this hot, humid,
mostly overcast afternoon. A light rain fell
for the last 20 minutes of the first half.

Jasmine Phillips earned the shutout for the
Fury. Both goalies had to make some important
saves.

Referee Michael Anthony Izzo gave out four Yellow
cards during the game that I counted--three for
the Fury--very rough play for a W-League match.

Best non-scoring chances were at 14 minutes when
TLL Jade Kovacevic take a cornerkick from the
right was sent out to TLL Adriana Leon at 28
yards who shoots through crowd of players and
goalie makes last second foot save. Kovacevic
gets ball back to her on deflection and blasts
shot wide left from 28 yards. 26 minutes had OF
Kelly Conheeney take a 32 yard freekick from the
left over to the right and 5 yard ball is knocked
down and goalie smothers point blank shot at
2 yards. 31 minutes TLL Kovacevic had a
35 yard freekick from right is into box knocked
around and finishes with goalie making catch
on 12 yard shot. One minute later OF Mallory
Outerbridge rushed down the middle chased by
a defender and chips 10 yarder over goalie that
bounces wide left of post. TLL were called
offside more than six times in the first half.
52 minutes had Kovacevic take a cornerkick from
the left had TLL Shannen Jainudeen on right heads
a 4 yarder wide right. 58 minutes had Kovacevic
rush on the right and send in a low cross from
20 yards that had TLL Kinley McNicoll miss
on a kick and TLL Adriana Leon blasted a 12 yarder
up the middle well over the net. 91 minutes had
TLL Alyscha Mottershead take a long throw-in from
the left had a TLL player flick a header across
the 6 yard box and the goalie swatted the ball away
from TLL Jainudeen before she can get a header
at 5 yards.

Lady Lynx didn't really have a lot of chances
in the last 20 minutes of the game. Their best
chances was the opening 20 minutes of the second
half. The first half was even but the Lady Lynx
were constantly offsiide on offensive rushes.

Lady Lynx record falls to 5-3-1 and are still
in the playoff picture.

Fury improves their record to 7-1-0 with their
only loss to Hamilton Rage in the second game
of the season. Yesterday they beat London
10-0 on their road trip. Their website brags
that they haven't lost a regular season game
except to the Lady Lynx for SEVEN years! I
guess they can say that because the Hamilton
Avalanche no longer exist. This year they host
the W-League final-four which may be harder
to win because from what I've heard a lot
of the defunct WSL league players have
made their way to American teams (not in this
6 of 7 team Canadian division).

Lady Lynx next game is Wednesday July 4th at
11:00am at Centennial Stadium.
