TORONTO, ON (April 29, 2025) – Carly ‘CJ’ Jackson made it a night to remember for the sold-out crowd of 8,532 at Coca-Cola Coliseum, backstopping the Toronto Sceptres to a 2-1 shootout victory over the New York Sirens in the team’s Pride Unity Game on Tuesday night. The fan favorite turned aside 25 of 26 shots in regulation and overtime, then denied all four shootout attempts to earn the win in their first career start. The goaltending was equally impressive at the other end of the ice as Sirens rookie Kayle Osborne matched her career-high with a 34-save performance in the defeat. In the shootout, Natalie Spooner capitalized on both of her attempts to secure the win for the Sceptres. The only two goals in regulation were scored in the first period, with Daryl Watts putting Toronto on the board at 6:07, and Ella Shelton responding late in the frame at 18:08. With the victory, Toronto extended their home point streak to eight games and snapped a two-game losing streak. The Sceptres also kept first-place within reach and trail Montréal by three points heading into the regular-season finale. To finish first, Toronto will need a regulation win against Ottawa on Saturday and a New York win over Montréal in regulation when the teams meet in the league’s final game that afternoon. Despite the loss, the Sirens have collected a season-high 10 points of a possible 12 in their last four games.
