Mon Mar 24 04:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Vanišová’s Hat Trick Leads Ottawa Charge to Victory Over New York Sirens

**Newark, NJ** – Tereza Vanišová scored her second hat trick of the season, leading the Ottawa Charge to a 5-2 victory over the New York Sirens Saturday afternoon at the Prudential Center before a season-high crowd of 4,767. This win marks Ottawa’s third consecutive victory against New York this season.

Vanišová’s three goals, including two scored within two minutes of each other in the second period, proved crucial in securing the win. Abby Roque scored a highlight-reel “Michigan” goal for the Sirens to briefly close the gap in the third, but Vanišová quickly responded with her third goal, effectively stifling New York’s comeback attempt. Brianne Jenner opened the scoring for Ottawa with a power-play goal, while Emily Clark added an insurance marker late in the game.

Gwyneth Philips earned her fourth win of the season for Ottawa, stopping 34 of 36 shots. Corinne Schroeder made 26 saves on 31 shots for the Sirens.

The win significantly impacts the playoff race. Ottawa, with six games remaining, closes the gap to just two points behind fourth-place Minnesota. New York, with five games left, trails Ottawa by six points.

Vanišová’s performance also made history; she’s the first player in PWHL history to record two hat tricks in a single season. Her 13 goals this season is a new Ottawa single-season record.

The two teams will face off again on Tuesday in Ottawa. Both teams commented on the importance of the game and the intensity of the playoff race. Sirens fans also received praise for their continued support despite the team’s current standings.
