OTTAWA, ON (March 11, 2025) – Alexa Vasko scored her first two goals as a member of the Ottawa Charge, boosting her team to a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Frost on Tuesday night at TD Place. The victory extended Ottawa’s season-high home winning streak to three and moved them within five points of Minnesota and Boston in the league standings. Late in the first, Charge captain Brianne Jenner opened the scoring with her second power play goal of the season. Ottawa went ahead 2-0 at 13:41 in the second frame when Vasko scored her first goal of the night, and of the season, adding to the Charge’s momentum. The Frost battled back in the final frame with two goals in a span of 2:13 midway through the period. Following the first by Taylor Heise, Charge goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer left the game due to injury and was replaced by Gwyneth Philips. Claire Thompson capitalized on the first shot on the rookie to knot the score 2-2 at 13:18. Shorthanded with just over four minutes left in regulation, Charge defender Ronja Savolainen made a diving play inside the offensive zone to get the puck to Vasko who was all alone and buried a shot past Maddie Rooney for the ‘jailbreak’ winner. Philips was credited with her third win of the season, making just one save on two shots faced. Maschmeyer had recorded 19 saves, including the 1,000th of her career. Rooney turned away 16 of 19 shots in defeat.
