Aerin Frankel notches another shutout and Boston Fleet top Vancouver Goldeneyes
2-0
BOSTON (AP) --- Abby Newhook and Jill Saulnier scored goals, Aerin Frankel
stopped 21 shots for her second shutout of the season, and the Boston Fleet
defeated the Vancouver Goldeneyes on Wednesday night in the PWHL.
Frankel matches her own Fleet record with one goal allowed in the last two
games. She has allowed only one goal in three games this season.
On Newhook's opening goal, Goldeneyes goalie Emerance Maschmeyer made
back-to-back saves, but the second rebound came to Newhook who slipped it in
for a 1-0 lead at 5:02. It was Newhook's second goal this season.
Jill Saulnier added an unassisted goal 6:40 into the third period. It was her
first goal of the season.
Boston (3-0-0-0) dominated the first period, attacking the net with 19 shots to
2 for Vancouver (0-1-0-3). The second period was much tighter, with Boston
holding a 7-6 edge in shots. For the game, Boston outshot Vancouver 31-21.
Maschmeyer has local ties to Boston, having played at Harvard. She was inducted
into the Beanpot Hall of Fame in 2023.
Expansion Vancouver ended its franchise-debut three-game trip to the East Coast
and was outscored 12-2.
