Pridham’s late goal lifts Rapid to 2-1 NSL win over Tides
HALIFAX — Delaney Baie Pridham missed a penalty late in the first half, but redeemed herself by scoring with one minute left in the second half to lift the visiting Ottawa Rapid to a 2-1 Northern Super League victory over the Halifax Tides on Friday.
Jyllissa Harris gave the visitors a 1-0 lead in the 39th minute at Wanderers Grounds. Pridham missed an opportunity to increase that lead in the first minute of stoppage time when she failed to score on a penalty kick.
The Tides’ Julia Benati tied the match in the 71st minute and it appeared as if the teams would have to settle for a draw until Pridham scored to seal the deal.
The Rapid had a huge advantage in possession (61 to 39 per cent), but were outshot 12-11 (4-4 on target).
