goal sinks Aurora FC versus Strikers"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>By Jake Courtepatte<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just minutes away from a crucial point in the League1 Ontario standings, the Aurora FC women were sent home with their fourth loss of the season.<br \/>\nThe women entered Sunday\u2019s matchup just two points back of their opponent, the Woodbridge Strikers, looking to capture their first win since week three.<br \/>\nAurora veteran keeper Meghan Phillips was kept busy in the first half, forced to contend with six saves in the opening frame while conceding a pair of goals in the first six minutes of play.<br \/>\nAurora countered with a well-placed strike from winger Paige Murray in the sixteenth minute, sending one past an aggressive Woodbridge keeper from inside the box.<br \/>\nThe comeback was complete in the 81st minute of the match, when Cloey Uddenberg finished off a Samantha Murphy free kick in close, chipping home the tying goal.<br \/>\nWith both sides set to play to a tie and take home a point apiece, Woodbridge put on a late charge with just three minutes to go before stoppage time, firing one over Phillips into the top corner for the 3 \u2013 2 win.<br \/>\nThe women take their 1-4-0 record into a Saturday hosting of Unionville Milliken SC (2-1-2) at Stewart Burnett Park in Aurora.<br \/>\nThe Aurora men also failed to gain ground thanks to a second half slip-up on Sunday, falling 3 \u2013 1 to Alliance United FC to remain at the bottom of the table.<br \/>\nAurora\u2019s Maximillian Ferrari put the away side up by one early in the match at Centennial College, though Alliance countered with a header past keeper Ryan Collins less than five minutes later.<br \/>\nAlliance took the lead for good early in the second half, breaking through the Aurora defense down the middle for the game-winning goal, before adding an insurance marker in extra time for the 3 \u2013 1 win.<br \/>\nThe Aurora men will get an opportune chance for their first win of the season when they host the 1-4-1 ProStars FC of Toronto on Sunday.<br \/>\nKickoff is set for 4p.m.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share
