CALGARY — Mya Jones came in off the bench late in the second half and scored twice, including a goal one minute into stoppage time, to lift the Calgary Wild to a 2-2 draw over the visiting Montreal Roses in Northern Super League action on Saturday.

The NSL-leading Roses outshot the Wild 14-11 (8-5 on target) and had five corners compared to the Wild’s three.
