Hayden FitzwilliamsTop teams Serbian White Eagles and St. Catharines Wolves, together with International Division runners-up Toronto Croatia, all scored quarterfinal victories to advance to the semifinals following three games in the CSL Championship playoffs on Sunday (14th October).

Coaching School’s foreign-based player Hayden Fitzwilliams campaigns for Toronto Croatia. And, in these quarterfinal games, Toronto Croatia scored a come-from-behind 4-2 win over North York Astros.

Toronto Croatia came back from a 2-0 half-time deficit to win 4-2 over North York Astros at The Hershey Centre in Mississauga. The Astros took a deserved lead on a goal at 17 minutes by midfielder Gill Vainshtein and forward Selvin Lammie made it 2-0 10 minutes later.

Croatia fought to get back into the game in the second half and it was Mario Pupic who scored at 64 minutes to narrow the lead at 2-1 and Hayden Fitzwilliams struck at 90 minutes for a 2-2 tie, taking the game into overtime. Fitzwilliams scored again five minutes into overtime and Pupic sealed the win with a goal at 105 minutes for a 4-2 final score.

The semifinals bring together Serbian White Eagles and Trois-Rivieres Attak, while St. Catharines Wolves will play Toronto Croatia. These games will be played at Esther Shiner Stadium, one game each on Saturday and Sunday, October 20 and 21 with the kickoff times to be announced on Monday, October 15.
