BURNABY – Jessica De Filippo’s own goal lifted the Halifax Tides over the Vancouver Rise 1-0 on Saturday in Northern Super League play.
Halifax defender Naya Cardoza had headed a corner kick toward Vancouver’s net in the 53rd minute when De Filippo deflected it in.
The Tides (5-2-6) snapped a three-match losing skid and moved ahead of the Rise in the NSL standings. The Tides have 17 points, one more than the Rise.
