Frost Begin PWHL Title Defense with Overtime Loss to New York Sirens
The defending champions raised their first Walter Cup banner but fell 4-3 in a dramatic season opener decided by Alex Carpenter's overtime goal.
- Grace Zumwinkle scored the fastest goal in PWHL history, just 21 seconds into the game, giving the Frost an early lead.
- Minnesota dominated the first period, outshooting the Sirens 15-3 and taking a 2-0 lead with Kendall Coyne Schofield adding a second goal.
- New York rallied with goals from Jessie Eldridge, Gabby Rosenthal, and Alex Carpenter, who scored twice, including the overtime winner assisted by rookie Sarah Fillier.
- Frost rookie Dominique Petrie forced overtime with a late equalizer, but the team was unable to capitalize on their 38-20 shot advantage.
- The Frost, returning most of their championship-winning core, face Boston next in a rematch of last season’s PWHL Finals.
