AFC Toronto stamped their authority on the Northern Super League Thursday night with a confident 3–0 win over Ottawa Rapid FC, becoming the first team in league history to string together four consecutive victories. The club’s momentum continues to build as they eye the summit of the NSL standings.

Forward Kaylee Hunter stole the spotlight, netting her second brace of the season with goals in the 17th and 24th minutes. Her first came courtesy of a perfectly weighted pass from Nikki Small, which Hunter calmly slotted home. Minutes later, she pounced on a defensive lapse to double Toronto’s lead, notch her sixth goal of the campaign, and tighten the race for the Golden Boot.

With the match well in hand, substitute Cloey Uddenberg sealed the deal in the dying moments with a crisp one-touch finish for her maiden NSL goal, showcasing Toronto’s impressive squad depth and attacking variety.

“Every goal I score fuels me to go get more,” Hunter said post-match. “I’m focused on putting in strong performances, and hopefully more goals will come. I’ve got my eyes on the top scorer spot, so I’ll just keep pushing toward that.”

Head coach Marko Milanovic praised his team’s intensity: “We pride ourselves on winning duels and playing a physical game. Honestly, we love matches where not everything gets called—that’s our kind of football.”

Captain Emma Regan spoke about the team’s winning streak: “I think we are really proud to be at the top of the table, but we are always believed we had the ability to get here. It is a testament to the character of this team, even when things have not gone smoothly; we have pushed through and delivered when it mattered. This is the payoff for that resilience, and we’re committed to keeping that mindset for the rest of the season.”

Up next, AFC Toronto travels to Wanderers Grounds in Halifax to take on the Halifax Tides FC on Tuesday, July 15.
