FURY Kick-Off Impressive Pre-Season in New Jersey



The Ottawa Fury W-League returned home early Tuesday morning after a very successful pre-season road trip in New Jersey. They kicked off their season in West Windsor, NJ against their old rivals the New Jersey Wildcats. The new look Fury squad that is fielding 8 new comers and a new head coach, Craig Smith, came out on top 2-0 on goals coming from Sari Raber and Shay Powell. The second game came against perennial W-League powerhouse the Jersey Sky Blue at the 27th Annual Cougar Soccer Club Memorial Day Invitational Tournament. The Fury came out on the right side of a scoreless (0-0) draw that saw the Fury generate strong chances in the Sky Blue end. Fury W-League head coach, Craig Smith, believe this was "the ideal road trip as they get ready for the season. With so many new players the two games against high quality opposition allowed us to see everyone in game situation." The Fury kick-off their regular season Saturday, June 7th at home (Algonquin College Soccer Complex) against the Western Mass Pioneers at 7pm.
