It is pretty easy to figure out why the Toronto Lady Lynx have qualified for 'W' league play offs, four of the past five seasons, together with the Junior Ladies qualifying for U17 and U20 North American USL finals, in 2009 and 2010. Maybe it has something to do with the quality of their goalkeeping....

The Lynx organization confirmed earlier today that Sabrina D’Angelo and Eve Badana have both been selected to the U17 National team, scheduled to depart this week for final preparations for the U17 World Cup, which begins on September 5th in Trinidad and Tobago.   Both girls are following in the footsteps of Lady Lynx #1 Justine Bernierrecently selected for the Senior Ladies National team training camp being hosted in Rome, Italy, to include an exhibition game against Germany on September 15th in Dresden.  Justine has previously represented Canada at both the U18 and U20 age levels.

Earlier this summer, 15 year old Kailen Sheridan was called into the U15 Canada Womens training camp in Sunrise, Florida, together with an invitation to the  "National All Star" tournament.  This following an outstanding season with the Lady Lynx Juniors alongside U16 Michelle Denley and under the watchful eye of Lynx goalkeeper coach Glenn McNamara. 

"These selections reflect the tremendous strides being made at the Toronto Lady Lynx" commented Lady Lynx Head Coach Danny Stewart.  "During my five years as Head Coach of the Lady Lynx, I have been very fortunate to have consistency in my goalkeeping position. Justine reported back early to the University of Alabama this year (July 5th).

I had monitored Sabrina D'Angelo at the NTC for two years and did not hesitate in inviting her to take over for Justine for our remaining 2010 Lady Lynx season.  Sabrina stepped in and played with great confidence, helping us to reach the playoffs, where eventual champions Buffalo, defeated us in the final round.  Eve, Kailen and Michelle provide a solid foundation for the future and we are all very proud of their ongoing recognition."

"Our continued success in the United Soccer Leagues, together with the number of Soccer scholarships being awarded to our Junior Ladies is very encouraging for the entire program," stated Academy Director Duncan Wilde, "National team selection for our players is always absolutely fantastic news and we wish them all every success over the next few weeks on National team duty".

The Lynx organization  are continuing to offer open tryouts and full details, together with the application process is clearly posted on the home page of the Academy website at www.torontolynxpremiersoccer.com
