Seattle Torrent Falls in Shootout, Topping Attendance Record

On April 5th, Seattle Torrent dropped the tight one to the New York

sirens at Madison Square Garden on April 4th, losing 2-1 in a shootout.

Before a record, 18,000 six fans, the biggest crowd ever for women's

pro hockey.

Neither team lit the lamp in the first period, but Torrent grabbed a quick

lead two minutes into the second, only for sirens to nodded up with three.

Minutes left in regulation.

That sent it to overtime.

Five minutes of three on three action with no goals, straight to the shootout.

Sirens scored first and third while Torrent answered once, but couldn't keep

pace, handing New York the win in their final regular season matchup.

Former sirens stars, Alex Carpenter and Karin Schroeder balled out for Seattle.

Carpenter netted the game's first goal in their lone shootout tally,

pushing her season points to 17. She leaves the team.

Schroeder was lights out too, stopping 36 of 37 shots for a 0.974

percentage, her best yet.

Torrent whiffed on two power plays, including a five-minute major,

despite ranking 4th league wide at 15.2%.

Still, they made history again, topping their own record from earlier this

season and showing the massive hunger for PWHL action as one of the new.

Expansion squads.

Now Seattle hits the road north to face Montreal Victoir on April 7th,

looking to bounce back strong in this growing league.
