   After a dominant 5-0 shutout against the Minnesota Frost followed by an unfortunate 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Charge, the Sirens, eager to regain their momentum, ultimately emerged victorious with a hard-fought 1-0 overtime thriller against the Sceptres on Sunday, January 12th at Prudential Center. The loss was particularly unfortunate for Toronto, who had recently snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory against the Boston Fleet, only to find themselves in a three-game losing skid. The overtime heroics of Jessie Eldridge, who scored the game-winning goal, along with the stellar goaltending of Corinne Schroeder, who denied all 28 shots she faced helped New York secure the 1-0 shutout victory. The Sceptres head to Ottawa to take on the Charge in search of a win to snap their three-game losing streak on Tuesday, while the Sirens will be hosting the Frost on Wednesday.

   After a scoreless 60 minutes of regulation, the winning team had to be determined in overtime where Jessie Eldridge scored the deciding goal, which had been her third goal of the season. Jaime Bourbonnais sent the puck over to Sarah Fillier from the right side, above the right circle, and Fillier fired the puck from above the left circle all the way up the ice for Eldridge to pick up, going top shelf from the left of Kristen Campbell for the 1-0 shutout final.
