Calgary Wild FC struggles 'to get a foothold' at home, gets blanked by Ottawa Rapid FC
Ottawa Rapid FC scored early and never looked back, blanking Calgary Wild FC 3-0 in front of their home crowd at McMahon Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Ottawa's trio of tallies in the Northern Super League match came from two set pieces and one that ricocheted off Wild FC goalkeeper Stephanie Bukovec. 'I think that while the set pieces dictated the score of the game, they didn't dictate the game,' said Wild FC head coach Lydia Bedford. 'We are obviously really upset to concede two set pieces, but our play didn't create that much, and they did dictate the tempo of the game.' Florence Belzille got the visitors on the board first, scoring her first goal in her first match at the 12-minute mark. Forward Delaney Bale Pridham doubled things up before halftime when she became the first NSL player to reach the 10-goal mark. 'We really struggled to get a foothold. I think the players kept fighting which is important. They tried to solve problems at the half, but just were less successful, and too far off it on the whole today.' Ottawa put the game away with an own-goal three minutes into the second half. Wild FC's record drops to 4-6-2 at the midway point of the 25-game inaugural season.
