Northern Super League Power Rankings Week 15: Vancouver continues to impress, Toronto falters, Montreal defense continues to lead

6 – Halifax Tides (+/– 0) – 3-9-1

The Tides stay at the bottom of the table after a setback in Ottawa, conceding the only goal of the match in the 42nd minute. Olivia Scott met a Delaney Pridham cross to nod home the winner, handing Halifax a 1-0 loss and extending their losing streak to three matches.

5 – Calgary Wild (+/– 0) – 4-7-2

Calgary’s defensive problems reemerged as they conceded two goals within the first five minutes at Stade Boréale in Montreal. Latifah Abdu scored the opening goal in the first minute,

and Tanya Boychuk added a second in the fifth. The Wild never recovered in a 2-0 loss.

4 – Ottawa Rapid (–1) – 6-4-2

Ottawa demonstrated resilience with a narrow win over struggling Halifax, outshooting their hosts 15–5 en route to a 1–0 victory. Olivia Scott’s second goal of the season proved decisive just before halftime. The Rapid got the critical three points, but still fell in the power rankings due to a surging Vancouver side.

3 – Vancouver Rise (+1) – 5-5-3

Vancouver Rise handed AFC Toronto a 2-1 loss despite Kaylee Hunter opening the scoring in the ninth minute for Toronto. Samantha Chang’s first-half brace secured all three points for Vancouver. The Rise is on an important hot streak and taking out the league leaders will be a momentum boost moving forward.

2 – Montreal Roses (+/– 0) – 7-3-3

Montreal started strong and dominated Calgary. Latifah Abdu scored inside the first minute before Tanya Boychuk doubled the lead four minutes later, allowing the Roses to control possession and finish 2-0 winners. The Roses' defense has been a cut above the rest of the league; if they can start turning more draws into wins, they will be back at the top of the table and power rankings soon.

1 – AFC Toronto (+/– 0) – 8-5-1

Toronto’s credentials were tested in a lively match against Vancouver. Although Kaylee Hunter put the Reds ahead in the ninth minute, they ultimately lost 2-1. Two losses in a row leave the top of the power rankings uncertain as Week  16 approaches. For now, Toronto remains the team to beat, but Montreal is right behind and closing fast.
