Minnesota Frost ends Boston Fleet's undefeated streak, 5-2
Kendall Coyne Schofield scored her league-leading fifth goal of the season and Nicole Hensley made 27 saves and Minnesota Frost beat the undefeated Boston Fleet 5-2 on Friday night.
Coyne Schofield found the back of the net, poking in a rebound in the first period. Dominique Petrie scored on a tip-in, and the Frost went into the first intermission up 2-0.
After Fleet goalie Aerin Frankel stopped a breakaway early in the second period, the puck got away from her and Britta Curl-Salemme scored on the rebound.
Boston swung momentum its way when it scored two goals in 23 seconds in the third from Olivia Mobley and Riley Brengman. With just over a minute, the Fleet pulled Frankel, and the Frost put away two empty net goals to win their first home game of the season.
Frankel made 25 saves on 28 shots.
