The Sirens lose to the Boston Fleet, 2-0.

Olivia Ordonez

Newark, NJ– On Dec. 12, the New York Sirens faced the Boston Fleet in a nail-biting match. The Sirens and the Fleet have now met 12 times in the past two years, with the most recent prior meeting on March 5, 2025—a 5-2 win for Boston.

From the opening whistle, the Sirens gained first possession, setting the stage for an offensive battle. Boston’s forward Jill Saulnier, a former Sirens player, left a bittersweet taste in fans’ mouths as she peppered the net with shot after shot. It became clear early that it would be a frustrating night for New York. The Sirens skated hard and battled along the boards, but every offensive push was met by Boston sticks and clogged passing lanes. The Sirens had early chances and came close, but nothing found the back of the net in a scoreless first period.

Boston broke through early in the second period with rookie forward Ella Huber, who notched her first professional goal on the power play to give the Fleet a 1-0 lead. Soon after, Liz Schepers doubled the advantage, scoring her first goal of the season and bringing the score to 2-0. Even down by two, the Sirens refused to fold under pressure. They continued to press and generate shots, forcing Boston goalie Aerin Frankel to stay sharp.

Special teams proved decisive: Boston capitalized on their lone power play opportunity, going 1-for-1, while the Sirens struggled, finishing 0-for-3 on their power play chances.

The third period mirrored the first. New York controlled stretches of play and pushed the pace with multiple power plays. Every shot was just a hair off the mark, and every rebound seemed to end up with the Fleet.

“I wouldn’t change the majority of the game besides the result. I think when you look back at it, we held a lot of the play and had a lot of chances; we just didn’t score on those chances,” said Coach Fargo.

Although the loss stings, there are positives to take away. The Sirens showed resilience and stayed competitive until the final buzzer. The game also highlighted that the Sirens aren’t a team that changes under pressure.

“We aren’t a big and physical team—that’s not our identity. So we’ll be aware of it (referencing moving forward with physicality), but at the same time, we have to be the best version of us. We saw that today with the chances, the speed, the amount of shot pucks.”

With the next Big Sirens game coming up against the Seattle Torrent on Dec. 28, the stakes are high—especially with the history between the teams, as the Torrent earned their first-ever franchise win against the Sirens on December 3, 2025.
