Montreal Roses lose keeper Karpenko in 0-0 draw with Halifax Tides

HALIFAX — A defensive duel between the Montreal Roses and Halifax Tides ended in a 0-0 draw on Sunday.

The result came after Montreal lost goalkeeper Anna Karpenko to an apparent lower-body injury in the 23rd minute.

Karpenko came up out of the penalty area to knock a ball down but buckled after the kick and crumpled to the field clutching her right leg.

She was looked at by trainers before being carried off on a stretcher.

Gabrielle Lambert came on in relief and helped the league-leading Roses (11-4-7) stop all four on-target shots they faced across the game.

The Tides (7-10-5) got a crucial point from the draw but still sit one point back of the Vancouver Rise (8-10-3) in the battle for the Northern Super League’s final playoff spot.
