In a nail-biting conclusion to their Sunday matchup, the Toronto Sceptres edged out the New York Sirens 4-3, thanks to Jesse Compher's timely goals. Compher's performance was a direct counter to Kristýna Kaltounková's impressive two-goal effort, making the top pick from this year's draft a force to be reckoned with. Compher began the Sceptres' scoring early in the first period, assisted by Allie Munroe and Maggie Connors, and sealed the win with a crucial goal in the third period, with Claire Dalton providing the assist. However, the Sirens refused to back down, with Taylor Girard scoring just 21 seconds later to keep the game within reach. Kaltounková, the highly-anticipated number one pick, proved her worth with two goals, including a power play assist from Casey O'Brien and Maja Nylen Persson. The Sirens' efforts were further boosted by Sarah Fillier and Anne Cherkowski. Despite the Sirens' late surge, the Sceptres managed to maintain their lead, thanks in part to Blayre Turnbull's unassisted goal in the second period. As the game came to a close, Elaine Chuli made 37 crucial saves for the Sceptres, while Kayle Osborne turned away 23 shots for the Sirens. The Sceptres will look to build on this momentum as they host Ottawa on Tuesday, while the Sirens will face off against Seattle in Dallas as part of the Takeover Tour.
