Tides ride own goal to 1-0 NSL win over Rise
Jessica De Filippo’s own goal ended Halifax’s three-match skid and gave the Tides their first-ever win over Vancouver, moving them ahead in the standings.
On Saturday, the Halifax Tides defeated the Vancouver Rise 1-0 in Northern Super League play in Burnaby, ending the Tides' three-match losing skid.
Defender Filippo deflected a corner kick from Naya Cardoza into the net in the 53rd minute, marking the Tides' first-ever victory over the Rise.
Despite controlling 57 per cent of the match, the Rise suffered a loss that snapped a two-game winning streak, highlighting the Tides' defensive strength.
Vancouver forward Mariah Lee played her final career match on Saturday, having announced her retirement intention on Monday before the team's loss.
The Tides moved ahead of the Rise in the NSL standings, now holding one more point than their rivals following the weekend victory.
