SEATTLE (AP) --- Alex Carpenter had two goals and an assist, Hannah Bilka added
a goal and two assists, and the Seattle Torrent beat the Ottawa Charge 4-1 on
Wednesday night for their second consecutive win.
The expansion Torrent (2-0-1-1) have won back-to-back games for the first time
in franchise history.
Julia Gosling also scored a goal for Seattle and Hilary Knight had two assists.
Hannah Murphy had 24 saves. The 22-year-old Murphy --- selected No. 15 overall,
the first goaltender chosen, the the 2025 PWHL draft --- has two wins in as
many career appearances (both starts).
Rebecca Leslie scored a goal for Ottawa (1-0-0-5) with 37 seconds left. Sanni
Ahola stopped 20 shots.
Gosling found the net on a power play with 3 seconds left in the first period
to give Seattle a 1-0 lead. It was the third goal this season for Gosling.
Hannah Bilka notched her third assist and Alex Carpenter collected her second.
Carpenter added a power-play goal almost 6 1/2 minutes into the second period
and scored again about five minutes later to give the Torrent a 3-0 lead going
into the third.
Bilka scored the first empty-net goal in franchise history to make it 4-0 with
1:30 remaining.
