But Milton's Under-19 girls are no doubt wishing indoor soccer were part of that lise - after coming with- in a heartbeat of reaching League Cup semnifmal play in Vaughan Saturday. The Sargent Farm Magîc - une of the province's mose impruved teams this win- ter - feul juot une goal shy of advance- ment, tying Newmarket 1-1 in the last quarterfinal round-robin game where unly a victory would push them through. Erinn Greenfield powered hier way to the upposing cage and buried an Amy DiPalma rebound tu erase an early deficit. But from there the local ladies could pro- duce nu more, despite a number uf quality chances down the stretch. .Providing exceptional defense were Ashley Grant, Erin Grevstad and Ruth Hamon. Coming this close to the semnifinals speaks volumes about the short order progress made by the Magic, who as league newcomers last year managed only une win mnd were in nu position to chai- lenge the province's top teamos. It's been a whole different story titis oea- son, as the teamn knocked off defending champion Pickering 2-1 in te League' Cup's preliminary round mnd were beaten jut I -0 by lase year's finatiet Thunder Bay Saeurday mumning lu start the quarterfinal round. Said assistant coach Rachelle DiPalma, -We certainly demonstrated that we can compete with turne of the pruvince's beot teamo.' The Newmarket tic was the second straight stalemate of the day for Milton. The first was of the scorelets variety againse London Forest - whu was stifled by the likes of Hamon, Erica Ercolani, Krista Lenardon mnd Heather Moon. What they couldn't stop, netminder Emma Goddard did in impressive fashion lu preserve the shutout. Up front, Ashley Rainey, Val Fazio mnd Kelsey Orpin offered plenty of pressure but just couldn't dent the twine.
