Vanisov's hat trick sparks Charge in 5-2 win over Sirens; Roque delivers rare
Michigan goal for NY
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) --- Tereza Vanisov scored three goals in a 10-minute span of
the second and third quarters, leading the Ottawa Charge to a 5-2 victory over
the New York Sirens on Saturday.
Vanisov's hat trick overshadowed a historic goal by New York's Abby Roque, who
scored the first Michigan in PWHL history. Roque had control of the puck behind
the net and wrapped a high shot to the post behind Ottawa goalie Gwyneth
Philips. The shot, sometimes referred to as a high wrap was pulled off by
Roque, who happens to be from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
Roque's shot, two minutes into the third period, drew the Sirens within 3-2.
Vanisov had given Ottawa a 3-1 lead with two goals in the final five minutes
of the second period. Nearly two minutes after Roque's goal, Vanisov completed
her hat trick for a 4-2 lead.
Ottawa's Emily Clark wrapped up the scoring with a goal midway through the
final period.
Philips had 34 saves for fifth-place Ottawa (9-1-4-10) and Corinne Schroeder
stopped 26 for sixth-place New York (5-4-4-12).
The win keeps Ottawa's slim playoff hopes alive, as they trail Minnesota by two
points for fourth place.
