CHICAGO (AP) — Rookie Sarah Wozniewicz scored her first goal with 65 seconds left in overtime to lead the Ottawa Charge to a 3-2 victory over two-time defending champion Minnesota Frost on Sunday at Allstate Arena in an extension of the PWHL's Takeover Tour.
Voznevich got an assist from Peyton Hamp and scored the game-winner for the Charge (1-1-0-5) at 3:55 of the 5-minute OT.
Ottawa took a 1-0 lead midway through the first period on Roni Savolainen's power play goal and assists from Katerina Mrazova and Jocelyne Larocque.
Frost (3-0-1-2) pulled away even midway through Britta Curl-Salemme's second goal. Kelly Pannek earned her fourth assist and Mae Batherson her second.
Brianna Jenner scored for the third time this season, beating goalie Nicole Hensley with 4 seconds left to give the Charge a 2-1 lead heading into the final period. First-round pick Rory Gilday recorded her fourth power play assist and Rebecca Leslie her third.
Batherson, a defenseman, scored her first career goal to tie the game at 2 – all four minutes of the final period on the power play – with another assist from Pannek and one from Kendall Cooper – her third.
Gwyneth Phillips finished with 21 saves against Ottawa, one in overtime. Three of Hensley's 19 saves came in the extra period.
