Halifax midfielder Daphnée Blouin scored late in the game giving Tides a 1-0 victory over Montreal Roses Saturday in NSL action.

The Tides, who are last in the six-team Canadian pro women's soccer circuit, have shown signs of improvement in the past few weeks, but the road win over the second-place Roses has to be a highlight for the team's progress.

The Roses controlled possession for 59 per cent of the match and outshot the visitors 14-10, including 6-5 on-target shots.

The Roses had more corners (6-2) and more yellow cards (2-1).

In Saturday's late game, the fourth-place Vancouver Rise play the fifth-place Calgary Wild at McMahon Stadium.
