SCARBOROUGH, ON - The Colts wasted no time in making their mark, unleashing a relentless onslaught that culminated in a jaw-dropping 9-0 victory. The Colts missed their leading-scorer Kai Douglas and star mid-fielder Vanessa Lima, but we're also facing a short-handed Fleming squad, who were forced to play with only 10 players the entire game.
From the first whistle, the Colts performed a symphony of brilliance, seamlessly blending rock-solid defence with a ruthless attack. The spotlight, however, belonged to the rising star and rookie Kyry Rose, who has emerged as a force to be reckoned with. With incredible finesse and unmatched determination, she secured her second consecutive hat-trick in front of a home crowd.
But it wasn't just individual brilliance that shone brightly on this foggy fall evening; the Colts showcased a chemistry that was nothing short of mesmerizing. With one of the most crucial weeks of the season on the horizon, this team is not just about talent; they are about unity and unwavering spirit, poised to conquer the challenges ahead and ascend to the pinnacle of the standings.
Post-game, we caught up with the indomitable Captain Emily Cullen, who emphasized the critical focus required for the upcoming battles. "This game was all about maintaining our laser-sharp focus and ensuring every facet of our game was firing on all cylinders," she declared. "With two of the toughest matchups of the season looming, these games will define our playoff seeding. Our collective determination is unwavering; we're locked in knowing we have to play the Lords and the Sting next."
Prepare yourselves, for the Colts are set to return to Colts' Pitch at Progress Campus this Saturday Afternoon (October 6) for a clash of titans against the Durham Lords, a team equally hungry for the top spot. This showdown promises to be an absolute spectacle, as the Durham Lords are only 1 of 2 two teams to outscore their opponents more than the Colts. Get ready to witness the Colts in action, as they aim to conquer yet another formidable foe on their path to glory.
