POST GAME COMMENTS MIDFIELDER KIRK WILSON “We played a good game tonight. We had a lot of chances but you have to put one of those in the net to win the game. They have a good team so it’s satisfying to get a point on their field.” DEFENDER ADAM BRAZ “We played a very good game. We were the better team on the field by far. We had good possession of the ball in the first half. Then, in the second half they picked up their game but we were solid defensively. In general, it’s an excellent performance and we hope to build on that game to win against them at home on Wednesday.” MIDFIELDER PATRICK LEDUC “We dominated the team that's in first place in the standings but it’s unfortunate to come back home without the three points. It was our first game on their field so it’s fine, especially considering we had the best scoring chances. We moved the ball around well but we felt the fatigue in the second half. ” MISSING FROM THE LINE-UP Team – Player – Position - Reason MTL – Antonio Ribeiro (M) – hamstring – two weeks MTL - Leonardo Di Lorenzo (M) – foot – expected end of June MTL – Greg Sutton (G) – finger - return date TBD MTL - Gerry Argento (G) – concussion - return date TBD MTL – David Fronimadis (D) – knee - return date TBD NEXT GAMES Date – Teams – Stadium – Time Wed.
