BOSTON (AP) --- Shay Maloney scored to give Boston the lead, and Megan Keller
added a goal and an assist as the Fleet remained perfect with a 4-1 victory
over the two-time defending champion Minnesota Frost on Sunday.
Maloney scored for the first time this season, unassisted with 2:57 remaining
in the first period to give Boston a 1-0 lead. Keller used assists from Alina
Mller and Haley Winn to score her second just 1:14 later and the Fleet
(4-0-0-0) took a two-goal advantage into the second period.
The Frost (2-0-0-2) cut it to 2-1 on Klra Hymlrov first goal, 3:12 in, but
Abby Newhook answered on a power play with her third goal, using assists from
Keller and Winn for a two-goal lead.
Boston made it 4-1 on Theresa Schafzahl's first netter of the season three
minutes into the final period. Jamie Lee Rattray notched her third assist and
Riley Brengman collected her first.
Aerin Frankel stopped 24 shots in goal for Boston, while Maddie Rooney finished
with 31 saves for Minnesota.
Boston has shutout victories over Montreal and Vancouver at home and a 3-1 road
win over Toronto in its unbeaten start.
Minnesota beat Boston to win the PWHL's inaugural Walter Cup, and beat Ottawa
last season to repeat.
