TORONTO, July 19, 2012, by Juan Carlos Cordero, UNO International News Service.- After playing a suspended game last Tuesday July 17, Ravens could not go to 4th place and Bulldogs added their second victory of the year, a 3-2 well fought, with goals by # 9 Tanya and Laura. The black-shirt team attacked the whole game, but Danielle Wedge acting now as a frequent goalkeeper stopped many of the real danger of goal situations and her team was very lethal in the fast counter-attack.
Tonight, Thursday July 1819thth, there are three new matches that could change the current standings.
In the first game, a 6:30 p.m. on the Earslcourt South soccer field, Ballers will try to add a new victory and keep the well—deserved third place against Ravens. Both teams play a similar soccer style, so it is not easy to predict the results. Then, at 8:00 p.m., the favorite is Genesis vs. Bulldogs, and the third match of the night will have leader Majestic (by difference of goal now in first place with 19 points) against Thunder FC, which with a positive result can go to third position, eventually.

Thursday July 12 MATCHES REVIEW
Thunder 1 - Bulldogs 0
The extreme heat didn't allow to both teams’ players to display a better game. Even usually very fast strikers such as Michelle Liu in Thunder and Karen Cross in Bulldogs, were not able to show the best of their game. The match was decided in a free kick in the second half that escaped the Bulldogs goalkeeper hands. A supposed second goal was disallowed because an attacking player took the ball with her hands before the ball passed the goal line.
Genesis 1 - Ballers 2
The Celtics Glasgow-dressed ladies did a tremendous upset last night, with a couple of players nursing ankle sprains, knee and hand injuries. Genesis FC, the absolute leader of the Toronto Central Women's Soccer League for two years in a row, opened the score by a goal by midfielder Alora Walcott. Carol Knibbe, Jaime, Tara and the whole team were playing fast, but the girls of Ballers are tough too and they did not give us. They have a couple of new players in midfield (Kerby) and attack and it showed when at 44 minutes in the first half, they were able to tie in a goal by Yvonne, after a great pass by Kerby.
Just starting the second half, 46 minutes, Jenny escaped in a fast run and scored the 2-1. Defender Makela stood right as sweeper even with her left ankle sprained and Veronica did an amazing job stopping the run of Walcott and Knibbe. Meg, Angela, Rebecca, Kyra, Jessie, Kelly and the whole team worked hard for this great result. Goalkeeper Emily was the player of the match with great savings right on the line of goal.
Genesis delayed to have the fastest players into the game in the second half thinking they would be able to tie and win the game. But the closed defense and tough midfield, added the counter-attack by the strikers, make that Genesis lose not only the game, but the invictus series. This is their first defeat of the 2012 summer season.
Majestic Recs FC 3 - Ravens 2
Two teams with different styles but similar passion. Ravens have great midfielders, fast, technical and tough, and a powerful attack by Sandy, Romi and Jill, consolidated by a strong defense led by Laura, Meredith and Dora. Kelly, Caroline, and Carly also add to the mix.
Majestic FC is a very technical team, with at least four of its players with the top skills in the league and Toronto (creative midfielder Joda and attacking MF Farah), forwards Krysting Bacon, Nicole and Cindy. They are always able to move the ball smoothly and create spaces for either Nicole or Bacon to score.
Yesterday, it was Nicole, # 22, who escaped very fast and scored the 1-0 in the first 15 minutes. Then, the game went much disorganized, with Bacon marked so close and not being able to show her usual explosive speed. Then, she moved in the midfield but only when she went forward by the left, she was able to capitalize the team's technical skills. She scored twice with almost carbon copy's goals: run by Farah by the left after a series of wall passes, and when # 10 Farah could score, she saw Krystin Bacon alone in the penalty point and passed so she scored for a 3-0 partial.
Ravens came back, score 3-1 by a penalty shot by fault over Romi, she shot the penalty kick and scored. And almost in the last minutes, great player Jill, # 21, put the final 3-2.
