Vancouver, BC – The New York Sirens were blanked 4-0 by the Vancouver Goldeneyes as a crowd of 9,502 watched the home side seize control early and never look back. Despite outshooting Vancouver 28-20, the Sirens could not solve goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer, who delivered a flawless 28-save shutout to earn first star honors.

First Period Decides the Outcome

The game was decided in the opening frame, with Vancouver striking three times. Abby Boreen opened the scoring at 4:42, followed by Ashton Bell’s insurance tally at 16:36. Just over a minute later, Jenn Gardiner added a shorthanded goal, putting New York in a deep hole from which they could not recover.

Special Teams Struggles Continue

The Sirens’ special teams woes persisted, going 0-for-5 on the power play, while Vancouver capitalized on one of their three opportunities. Boreen’s second goal of the night came on the power play early in the third period, sealing the result. New York’s penalty kill held strong for stretches, but the inability to generate offense with the advantage proved costly.
