OTTAWA – Alex Lamontagne scored twice in her Vancouver debut and the visiting Rise scored four times in the second half to knock off the front-running Ottawa Rapid 5-1 in Northern Super League play on Saturday.
Anna Bout, Maithe Lopez and Camila Reyes, on a penalty shot, also scored for the Rise who scored three times in a span of 10 minutes early in the second half and then cruised to the blowout win at TD Place.
Elise Bell scored in the 82nd minute for the Rapid to spoil Jessica Wulf’s shutout bid.
With the victory the Rise move into fourth place in the six-team circuit, one point ahead of the Halifax Tide. The Rise improved to seven wins, one draw and nine losses for 22 points.
