AVALANCHE FALL 3 - 0 TO FURY IN OPENER

May 26, 2007
 
Ottawa, ON - An own goal by the Hamilton Lady Avalanche gave the 2006 W-League Finalist 
Ottawa Fury the early break they needed in route to a 3 - 0 victory at Keith Harris 
Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Carmelina Moscato and Leah Robinson were the goal scorers 
for Ottawa.

The Fury started strong, controlling the pace of the game from the opening kick. Kelly 
Parker missed wide just four minutes into the game and Annie Hamel headed a ball off the 
cross bar three minutes later. 

An unfortunate own goal in the 15th minute gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead. Moscato fired 
home her first goal of the season in the 37th minute, giving Ottawa a 2 - 0 lead at 
half-time.

Hamilton played tighter defensively in the second half, a move that generated better 
quality through balls and scoring opportunities then in the first.
 
Avalanche keeper Rosanne Couture made a great save on Parker that set up the ball for 
Robinson to shoot high into the net at the 75th minute.

Stacey Stocco and Chiara Greco were booked late on after a brief scuffle.

The Avalanche will look to earn their first victory of the season when they meet the 
Toronto Lady Lynx on Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Game time is 11:00 a.m. at Centennial 
Stadium in Toronto.
