OTTAWA CHARGE CLINCH RETURN TO WALTER CUP FINAL
11 May
Summary
- Ottawa Charge secured a Walter Cup Final spot after a thrilling overtime victory.
- Michela Cava scored the winning goal in the second overtime period.
- The Charge overcame a three-goal deficit to win the semifinal series 4-3.
The Ottawa Charge have earned a second consecutive trip to the Walter Cup Final, triumphing over the Boston Fleet in a hard-fought semifinal series. Michela Cava was the hero, scoring the decisive goal at 1:12 of the second overtime to clinch a 4-3 victory for Ottawa and win the best-of-five series in four games.
Ottawa's path to the final was not without challenge. After dropping the first game, they rallied to win the next three, a feat Boston had not experienced all season. The Fleet had fought back from a 2-0 deficit to take a 3-2 lead in the second period, but Ottawa equalized before Cava's decisive redirection.
The Charge, who were runners-up in last year's final, now await the outcome of the Montreal Victoire-Frost series. The winner of that series will be Ottawa's opponent in this year's Walter Cup Final.
