Calgary's Wild FC downs Halifax Tides 3-2 in Northern Super League
CALGARY – Calgary's Wild FC held off the Halifax Tides 3-2 on Thursday in the Northern Super League.
Wild (3-2-2) scored three first-half goals before the winless Tides (0-5-1) countered with two late in the second.
Calgary extended its undefeated run to four straight games with two wins and two draws in that span.
Wild FC defeated the Tides 4-1 in Halifax on April 26 for Calgary's first NSL victory, and a week after the six-team NSL launched with the Vancouver Rise blanking Calgary 1-0.
The Wild's Taegan Stewart scored her first career NSL goal when the 17-year-old Calgarian drilled a right-foot shot from the centre box home in first-half extra time.
Jenaya Robertson of Delta, B.C., made it 2-0 for the hosts at McMahon Stadium with a left-footed strike in the 41st minute.
Australian defender Ally Green got Calgary's first-half scoring burst underway in the 23rd minute.
Wild goalkeeper Stephanie Bukovec's bid for a third clean sheet in four games was foiled when Haligonian Saorla Miller and Japanese striker Megumi Nakamura scored in the 72nd and 76th minutes respectively for the Tides.
