HALIFAX – Ace midfielder Megumi Nakamura scored in the 36th minute and the Halifax Tides’ defenders did the rest as they bent but did not break in edging the visiting Calgary Wild 1-0 in Northern Super League action on Monday.

It was just the second win in nine women’s matches for the Tides, who outshot the Wild 8-4 (2-1 on target) despite having possession for only 48 per cent of the match.

“It was a hard one for us tonight. I think overall the team played with great spirit, and togetherness. It could have quite easily finished as a nil-nil draw, but we were quite unfortunate to concede on the second phase of a set piece which we will go away and reflect on,” said Wild head coach Lydia Bedford.

The first match following a two-week international break combined with a banged up Wild roster made it difficult for the visitors to mount an offensive attack.

The Tides, who improved to two wins, six losses and a draw, are still last in the six-team circuit but they gained ground on the fifth-place Wild, who slipped to three wins, five losses and two draws.

The hosts received the lone yellow card of the match at Wanderers Grounds.
