TORONTO LYNX MEDIA RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BISNOTT AND DONALDSON NAMED TO ALL-CENTRAL CONFERENCE TEAM

U20 Men and Women take the field at North American Finals this week

TUESDAY JULY 29, 2008 (Toronto, CANADA) Following breakthrough seasons with the Toronto Lady Lynx in 2008, Brittany Bisnott and Alicia Donaldson have each earned spots on the W-League’s All-Central Conference Team. The two helped lead the Lady Lynx to their best-ever record this year, a stellar 11-2-1 mark and second place in the Northern Division, before being upset by the Laval Comets in the Northern Division semi-finals last week.

Bisnott, a native of Brampton, finished tied for the team lead in scoring this season with Stefania Morra, recording 10 goals and 1 assist for 21 points. The forward, in her second year with the Lady Lynx, was named Best Offensive Player for her efforts, and her ten goals ranked her seventh in the W-League on the season.

Mississauga’s Donaldson was named Toronto Lady Lynx Rookie of the Year for 2008, on the strength of her six goals in her W-League debut. The midfielder/forward scored the first goal of the season for the Lady Lynx back in May in her inaugural game in Toronto colours.

TORONTO LYNX AND LADY LYNX U20’S OFF TO FINALS

The Toronto Lynx Juniors U20 Men and Women head to Virginia Beach, Virginia this week to take part in the Super-20 League North American Finals. The Lynx U20 Men are making their second straight appearance in the event, having reached the semi-finals last season before bowing out on penalties to the eventual champion PDA of New Jersey. The Lady Lynx U20 Women qualified for the finals in their inaugural season of competition in the league.

The U20 Men have been slotted in the so-called “Group of Death”, featuring four of the best squads in North America. The Lynx will be joined in Group B by the New York Red Bulls, a fellow 2007 semi-finalist; H.C. United, who won the 2006 Super-Y League U17 Crown; and perennial powerhouse Seacoast United. The group winner will progress to the semi-finals on Saturday. The Lynx open the competition Thursday morning with a 10:00 AM kick-off against the Red Bulls, in arguably one of the most anticipated matches in the entire competition.

The Toronto Lady Lynx U20 Women, coached by Billy McKenna, are underdogs in the eight-team tournament and will look to surprise their opponents who might take the rookie squad lightly. The Lady Lynx Juniors have been slotted in Group A, along with the ever-powerful Washington Freedom; TSF Academy; and Triangle FC, with the top team advancing directory to the finals. The Lady Lynx will open play on Thursday against the Freedom at 10:00 AM.
