  "account": "Montreal's Tanya Boychuk scored in the 81st minute and goalkeeper Gabrielle Lambert kept Ottawa's Rapid goalless, securing first place in the Northern Super League for the Montreal Roses. The Roses needed a win or tie to top the six-team circuit, and finished the match with 45 points — 12 wins, four losses, nine draws — while Ottawa had 40 points — 12 wins, nine losses, four draws. The Roses dominated possession and shots, taking 53% possession and 16 shots on goal, including a 4-1 advantage in on-target shots. Montreal also took five of the seven corners. The Roses received only one yellow card of the game. Vancouver Rise will host Calgary Wild on Sunday, needing a tie or win to secure the fourth and final playoff spot, which is currently held by the Tides.",
