ECFC defeated the Blue Devils FC, 4-1 while breaking the League1 Ontario women’s attendance record of 1,009 fans on a hot afternoon. The record shattered the old one of 900 which was a league final at the Ontario Soccer Centre in Vaughan.
"To see that we have the equal from the community for our women's team as we do our men's team, it means a lot for the girls," said Randy Ribiero, ECFC women's head coach. "The attendance record that was previously held at a League1 final, I can only imagine if we get to August and host a playoff game here, the atmosphere we're going to have."
"I've never felt anything like this before," said Kayla McQueen, ECFC striker. "I had a fan come up to me and asked me for an autograph and I cried right after. I'm so happy to be here and I'm excited for the season."
