Tamalee Foster, who came on as a substitute for Real MoBay, scored in the 64th minute but later had a penalty kick saved, while Kryhana Reid got the team’s other goal in the 66th minute.
Zone B leaders Cavalier beat Olympic Gardens 3-1 at the Captain Horace Burrell Centre of Excellence with goals from Keisha Thomas from the penalty spot in the seventh minute, Sade Berry in the 30th, and Suen Gregory in the 58th.
