Calgary Wild FC extended its unbeaten streak to four matches on Sunday, battling Montreal Roses FC to a 2-2 draw at Stade Boréale. The result continues a notable turnaround for Alberta's only professional women's soccer team, which had lost 12 of its first 14 matches before this run.

Match Summary

Calgary opened the scoring in the 36th minute when Taegan Stewart converted a penalty kick—her second consecutive match finding the net. Montreal responded in first-half stoppage time through Marie-Yasmine Alidou, who scored her third goal in five games since joining from Portland of the NWSL.

Elyse Bennett put the Roses ahead in the 50th minute with her league-leading 10th goal of the season. But Jorian Baucom pulled Calgary level in the 70th minute, salvaging a point for the visitors.

Coach and Player Reaction

Calgary assistant coach Kory Babington described the match as "a hard-fought affair in difficult conditions with the weather." He acknowledged a "lapse in concentration" that allowed Montreal's first-half equalizer and pointed to "another defensive lapse" that cost his side, noting a disallowed goal meant Calgary "could have taken all three points."

Baucom, reflecting on the team's recent form, said, "Teams are starting to rethink about Calgary Wild when it's time to play against us."

Standings and Next Match

The draw leaves Calgary (2-12-3) with nine points, 12 behind fifth-place Halifax. Montreal (9-4-4) has 31 points, two behind league-leading Ottawa.

Calgary's unbeaten run includes three straight victories before Sunday: a 4-0 win over Club Soccer Mont-Royal Outremont, a 3-2 road win over Vancouver Rise FC, and a 4-3 home win over Ottawa Rapid FC.

Calgary's next match is scheduled for August 29 against Vancouver Rise FC.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
