HALIFAX — Lauren Rowe’s goal in the 79th minute snapped a scoreless tie and lifted the visiting AFC Toronto to a 1-0 Northern Super League victory over the Halifax Tides on Tuesday at Wanderers Grounds.
Eight minutes earlier Toronto’s Victoria Pickett drilled a shot off the goalpost as the first-place visitors applied pressure on the last-place hosts.
Toronto, which had 17 shot attempts compared to 11 for Halifax, finished with four on-target shots. They improved to eights wins, three losses and one draw for 25 points.
The Tides, who also had four on-target shots, received two of the match’s four yellow cards and slipped to three wins, seven losses and one draw for 10 points.
