Six edge Whitecaps in OT to capture first Isobel Cup in franchise history. MORE:
But the Six, who finished second overall in the seven-team women's professional hockey circuit this season and became the first Canadian team to appear in the championship game, didn't panic, eventually tying the game 3-3 to force overtime.
After numerous close calls in overtime, in which the Six dominated the first four minutes, Tereza Vanisova scored at 4:23 of the 3-on-3 extra period to give the Six a thrilling 4-3 victory. Vanisova set up her own goal by outmuscling Liz Schepers in the right corner to force a turnover. Vanisova then drove alone to the net and lifted a shot over goalie Amanda Leveille’s left shoulder to secure the first Isobel Cup final to not feature one of the PHF's original four franchises.
