Sarah Wozniewicz netted the game-winning goal in overtime as Ottawa squandered a three-goal advantage but ultimately triumphed over New York Sirens with a 4-3 victory in Newark, N.J. Gabbie Hughes, Rebecca Leslie, and Brianne Jenner all contributed with a goal and an assist for Ottawa (3-5-0-6), rebounding after having their six-game win streak halted by a 2-1 defeat against Montreal. Gwyneth Philips made 31 saves to secure the win.
New York (7-0-2-5), which had previously shut out Charge 4-0 in the season opener, extended their point streak to seven games. Jaime Bourbonnais, Kristin O’Neill, and Anne Cherkowski found the back of the net for the Sirens, with Sarah Fillier providing two assists, while Callie Shanahan made 17 saves.
Hughes opened the scoring early in the game, followed by Leslie and Jenner extending Ottawa’s lead to 3-0. Bourbonnais, O’Neill, and Cherkowski then orchestrated a comeback for New York, equalizing the scoreline.
Looking ahead, Charge will face Montreal Victoire on Saturday, while Sirens are set to visit Minnesota Frost on Sunday.
