The Phantoms Female Hockey team emerged victorious in a back-and-forth battle against the Manitoba Mavericks, securing a 4-3 win in a game filled with momentum swings. The Phantoms came out flying in the first period, establishing an early lead and a commanding shot advantage. Just 45 seconds into the game, Madison Houle, wearing #11, opened the scoring with an even-strength goal, assisted by Sienna Pokol. The pressure continued, and Chloe Madden (#14) doubled the lead midway through the period, converting a setup from Taylee Mason and Natalie Evans. Despite an early charging penalty to the Mavericks' Nyah Hrominchuk, the Phantoms' Ellaina Young stood tall in net, turning away all 10 first-period shots to preserve the 2-0 lead heading into the intermission.
The second period saw a dramatic comeback from the Mavericks, who erased the two-goal deficit with a trio of goals. Espérance Halaburda (#8) got the visitors on the board, cutting the lead in half with assists from Bella Evangelista and Emma Baydock. The momentum fully shifted after a pair of Phantoms penalties for tripping and hooking. Capitalizing on the disrupted flow, Nyah Hrominchuk (#7) tied the game, assisted by Scarlet Tourangeau. Halaburda then struck again just over two minutes later, giving the Mavericks their first lead of the night and completing the stunning turnaround. The period ended with the Phantoms leading in shots but trailing 3-2 on the scoreboard, setting the stage for a tense final frame.
The third period belonged to Taylee Mason and the Phantoms' penalty kill. With the team already down a player due to a body contact minor, Mason (#16) took over. First, she scored a crucial shorthanded goal to tie the game at 3-3. Then, in a stunning sequence just nine seconds later, she netted another shorthanded marker to reclaim the lead for the Phantoms. This heroic effort proved to be the game-winner. The Phantoms' defense and goaltender Ellaina Young locked things down from there, allowing only four shots in the final period to seal the hard-fought 4-3 victory. Young earned the win with a 21-save performance, while Taylee Mason's late-game heroics, finishing with two goals and an assist, cemented her as the undeniable player of the game.
