Taegan Stewart's 48th-minute goal lifts Calgary Wild past Halifax Tides 1-0
The Wild picked up just their third win of the season in Northern Super League play on Saturday, with Halifax still holding the final playoff spot despite the loss.
The Calgary Wild defeated the Halifax Tides 1-0 on Saturday in Northern Super League action, with Taegan Stewart scoring the lone goal in the 48th minute.
Stewart juggled a looping pass to beat her defender before striking with the outside of her boot for her fourth goal of the season. It marked her first match back after representing Canada at the group stage of the FIFA under-20 Women's World Cup.
The win improved Calgary's record to 3-12-5, only its third victory of the campaign. Halifax, now 7-10-3, remains in the fourth and final playoff spot in the six-team league despite the setback. Tides forward Jordan Rhodes had a chance a minute before Stewart's goal, but her redirect in the box was blocked by Wild goalkeeper Sarah Keilty-Dilling.
