Rochester, NY, 07/06/11 — On Friday the Rochester Ravens will host the Quebec City Amiral in this season’s last home game. The game is at the Aquinas Institute and it begins at 7:00 PM. The home finale pits the Ravens against the fourth place Amiral in a game that could make or break the Ravens’ playoff chances. The Amiral are the team directly above the Ravens in the standings with a four point difference. A Ravens win would move them to one point behind the final playoff spot.
“We haven’t achieved three points from a game in awhile,” says owner Doug Miller. “That makes this game so much more important. It would be a significant accomplishment for the team and the organization if we’re able to make the playoffs this year. Three points on Friday would put us on the cusp of doing so.”

posted 06/30/2011
Rochester, NY, 06/30/11 — This Saturday the Rochester Ravens will host the Toronto Lady Lynx in a game that has serious playoff implications. Both teams are in the hunt for a playoff spot in the division and this game will give an edge in that race. The game is at the Aquinas Institute and it begins at 3:00 PM. A Ravens win against the third place Lady Lynx would move them up in the standings into third place.
“Every game we have in this part of the season is crucial for our playoff hopes,” says owner Doug Miller. “The division is very tight this year due to a little more parity among teams. Three points against Toronto would put us in a really good position entering our last home game against Quebec City on July 8 th. I’m sure Toronto will be playing us tough after beating them on their own field. We are going to need a great game to come out victorious.”

The game is at the Aquinas Institute and it begins at 3:00 PM. A Ravens win against the last place Gryphons would move them up in the standings into a tie with Quebec City for third place if Quebec City loses to the Ottawa Fury on Saturday.

The Gryphons have started out the season with a 0-5-1 record while accumulating only one point. They are currently in last place in the division and trail the sixth place team, Hamilton, by three points. The team’s only ties came against Hamilton, which ended with a 2-2 score on Wednesday, June 22 nd. The Gryphons are coached by Anthony Addorisio, who is in his first year with the team. He is the fourth coach in London’s history. Sylvia Gee is the Gryphons’ big international signing this season traveling in from Ireland. Sylvia brings wealth of top-flight soccer experience having played both internationally for her country and in the English Premiership as well. Last year London competed in the Midwest Division and finished with a 1-9-2 record and 5 points.
