Ottawa, ON - On a sunny Saturday afternoon at The Stadium at TD Place, Ottawa Rapid FC fell 2-1 to the visiting Montreal Roses FC. After conceding in the 23rd minute, D.B. Pridham responded with a well-placed header to level the match, scoring her league-leading eighth goal of the Northern Super League season. Montreal quickly regained the lead just eight minutes later, as Tanya Boychuk netted what would stand as the game-winning goal.

Ottawa defender Olivia Scott was shown a red card in the 26th minute for denying Boychuk a clear goal-scoring opportunity, removing her from the match. Down a player for over an hour, the Rapid were unable to regain organized momentum and the Roses walked away with all three points.

"They had a little bit of momentum and then obviously us going down to 10 made it hard," said head coach Katrine Pedersen. "Our players showed real character. We limited their chances, we got chances ourselves, we came back and we fought all the way in... It's 10 players against 11."

"I think [Montreal] is a cohesive team that has a method to their madness and a process, and I think they're diligent in their team game plan," said captain Desiree Scott. "Every time we play them, it's a very close match, it could go any way, so I don't necessarily think we're doing anything wrong. It's who wants it more, and who finishes and puts the ball in the back of the net. But again, a very strong cohesive team as a group and one we're going to figure out one day and get a W after, that's what we're going for."

D.B. PRIDHAM: The forward leads the Northern Super League in goals with eight.

SERIES: In the third of their five meetings with Montreal Roses FC, the Rapid are 0-1-2.
