Two seasons. Two championships.

The Minnesota Frost won the PWHL's inaugural title, and now they've officially defended their crown. Liz Schepers scored 12 minutes into yet another overtime session, lifting the Frost to a 2-1 win over the Ottawa Charge on Monday in Game 4 of the PWHL Finals at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., and a 3-1 series victory.

Katy Knoll, who scored the game-winner in Game 3, and Klara Hymlarova assisted on Schepers' game-winner. They found Schepers in front of the Ottawa net, and Schepers took two cracks at it, getting a rebound past Charge goalie Gwyneth Philips.

Winning two consecutive Walter Cups didn't come easy. The Frost dropped an overtime heartbreaker in Game 1 and fell into a 1-0 series deficit. They barely came away with a Game 2 victory, only tying the game with 16 seconds remaining before coming away victorious in overtime. They won a triple-overtime marathon in Game 3.

It once again took overtime on Monday, and once again the Frost came away with the victory. Minnesota is 2 for 2 in championships in two seasons of PWHL existence.

The Frost struck first Monday night, taking a 1-0 lead when Kelly Pannek scored 10 minutes, 10 seconds into the second period. The Charge knotted it up when Tereza Vanisova scored 10 minutes, 9 seconds into the third period. But there wasn't much scoring to be had amid a goalie battle between Maddie Rooney and Philips.
