TORONTO (Jan 25, 2025) – The Toronto Sceptres soared to a 4-2 victory over the New York Sirens in front of a sold-out home crowd of 19,102 at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday afternoon, winning the Battle on Bay Street presented by Scotiabank for the second straight year. The Sceptres opened the scoring with a goal from Hannah Miller–– her first of two in the game–– to ignite the packed arena and give her team the lead heading into the first intermission. Ella Shelton evened the score on the power play halfway through the second period, but Miller struck again with just over a minute remaining in the second frame to give the Sceptres their second lead of the game going into the final period.

With just a minute gone in the third period, Abby Roque evened the score once again for New York to tie the game at two. With under six minutes remaining in the third period, Sarah Nurse regained the lead for Toronto on the power play for her first tally in seven games.
