Morin scores twice, powering Boston Fleet to 2-1 OT win over Ottawa Charge

The Ottawa Charge suffered a bit of a power outage Saturday.

Sidney Morin scored her second goal of the game 1:45 into overtime and the Boston Fleet edged the Charge 2-1.

The strike came off a turnover deep in Ottawa's end where Morin took a pass from Hannah Brandt and put a shot past Charge netminder Gwyneth Philips for the game winner.

"Obviously great forecheck by Shay (Maloney) and Hannah (Brandt) out there. I was hanging back to see what would happen and they made a great play down low and they got the puck back to me," Morin said.

"Hannah found me and I was going to make sure I took a little extra ice and shot high."

Victoria Bach scored for the Charge (4-0-2-3), who had won their previous three games in regulation.

Philips made 20 saves in the Ottawa goal, including eight in the third period when Boston had two power-play opportunities.

Aerin Frankel made 19 saves for Boston (2-2-2-4).

Each side registered just 21 shots.

"A low shooting game," Fleet coach Courtney Kessel said. "I don't think we really tested Philips as much as we would have like to, but we've been on the road since Dec. 26, so I think we knew today was going to be a bit of a grind. I was proud of the players to leave it all out on the ice."

Bach opened the scoring just as a Fleet penalty came to an end, tipping Jocelyne Larocque's point shot past Frankel at 6:48 for a 1-0 lead.

Morin got a goal back for the Fleet at 15:55 to tie the game 1-1 heading into the second period.

The teams were scoreless through the middle frame and, while both sides had opportunities, the best chance came late in the period when Ottawa's Stephanie Markowski sent Natalie Snodgrass in alone on a breakaway but Frankel made the save in the Fleet goal.
