Expansion Goldeneyes begin inaugural season with 4-3 OT win over Torrent
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) --- Abby Boreen scored 1:26 into overtime and
the Vancouver Goldeneyes beat the Seattle Torrent 4-3 on Friday night to get
the first win in franchise history.
It was the initial game for the Professional Women's Hockey League's first two
expansion teams in front of an enthusiastic sellout crowd of 14,958 at Pacific
Coliseum.
Claire Thompson had a goal and an assist for the Goldeneyes, while Sarah Nurse
scored the first goal in franchise history and Gabby Rosenthal tallied early in
the third period.
Julia Gosling scored twice for the Torrent, and Hannah Bilka also had a goal.
In the extra period, Tereza Vanizova sprinted up the ice and sent Boreen a pass
across the slot. Boreen wasted no time shovelling it into the side of the net
for the win.
Vancouver dominated play early, but struggled to get a puck past Seattle goalie
Corinne Schroeder, who made 23 saves on the night. Goldeneyes goalie Emerance
Maschmeyer stopped 24 shots.
The Goldeneyes controlled play early, but couldn't capitalize on early chances
and chased the game after Seattle scored twice in the first.
Vancouver went 0 for 3 on the power play.
The Torrent were down a player after defenseman Aneta Tejralova suffered a
lower-body injury after getting checked into the end boards midway through the
second period.

Goldeneyes visit Ottawa on Wednesday to begin a four-game trip, while Torrent
host Minnesota on Friday.
