Team Adidas handed Team Harvey’s its first loss since Oct. 15 with a 2-1 overtime win on Saturday at the Professional Women’s Hockey Players’ Association’s Dream Gap Tour OHL showcase in Barrie, Ont.

Three-time Canadian Olympic medallist Meaghan Mikkelson scored the winner with just over a minute left in the extra frame, shooting the puck over the glove of Team Harvey’s goalie Geneviève Lacasse.

Kristin O’Neill gave Team Adidas a 1-0 lead midway through the first period, while Hayley Scamurra scored the equalizer late in the second.

Team Adidas blanked Team Sonnet 4-0 on Friday in St. Catharines, Ont., before a PWHPA-record crowd of 4,301 fans.

The PWHPA announced earlier this week it will wrap its season with a championship tournament March 10-12 in California.

The 80-player association, which includes stars Marie-Philip Poulin, Sarah Nurse, Hilary Knight and Kendall Coyne Schofield, will ice four teams in a four-game tournament in Irvine, El Segundo and Palm Desert.

Remaining events include six-game tournament from Feb. 24-26 will be played in Tampa, Fla., in partnership with the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning and a four-game tournament March 4-5 at the Washington Capitals’ practice arena.
