"Gwyneth Philips stopped 41 shots as the Ottawa Charge defeated the Toronto Sceptres 3-0 on Saturday to capture the final Professional Women's Hockey League playoff berth."
"Leading 1-0, Ottawa extended its advantage just 1:03 into the third when Toronto's Kali Flanagan turned the puck over at her own blue line."
"The Charge opened the scoring early in the second. Michela Cava made a cross-crease pass to Kadirova, who took the pass off her skate to her stick to beat Kirk."
"Toronto dominated play early in the contest but the Charge fed off the energy of the goal and had sustained pressure numerous times throughout the period."
