Astros' 'keeper Arthur Zaslavski: strong game despite 2-0 loss

Following a number of end-to-end exchanges, St. Catharines went ahead at 11 minutes from an own goal - a ball that entered the net from an Astros defender out of reach of North York goalkeeper Arthur Zaslavski.

 North York pressed for an equalizer but the half ended 1-0 and it was St. Catharines who eventually scored following the interval to make it 2-0 at the 59^th minute mark, a goal by midfielder Joe Delpriore.

 It was the Niagara Peninsula team’s first win of the season following a scoreless tie against Portugal on May 30 and it was the first game for the Astros following a postponed opener at London on May 29.

 North York will take on TFC Academy at Esther Shiner this coming Saturday, June 6 at 3 pm, while St. Catharines Wolves visit London for a game with the City at Cove Road on June 12, an 8.30 pm kickoff.
