Calgary’s Wild FC downs Halifax Tides 3-2 in Northern Super League

Jun 5, 2025 | 10:01 PM

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.

Bukovec and Halifax keeper Erin McLeod, who has appeared in 119 games for the Canadian women’s team, each made one save.

Bukovec was the busier of the two women with 68 touches to McLeod’s 36.

Wild FC’s next game is against AFC Toronto in Calgary on June 14. The Tides host Ottawa Rapid FC on June 10.

Toronto versus Ottawa and Vancouver against Montreal Roses FC is Saturday’s NSL match lineup.
