I'm Corey, with the story.

On Sunday, March 29th, the Boston Fleet handled the Minnesota Frost 4-2 in their third PWHL

match of this season.

Both squads entered with one win each, but Boston grabbed control early and never looked

back, now leading the series while clinching the leagues.

First playoff ticket for the Walter Cup.

The fleet built a two-goal edge in the first period.

Saw Minnesota, clawed back to tie midway through the second, then struck right back to hold

the lead.

It sealed the deal with their lone third-period tally, showcasing that balanced attack

from rookies and bets alike.

Players stepped up big, Sophie Shirley dropped two goals for eight points, matching her career

high already this year.

Hayley win, opened scoring with her fourth, Liz Shepers added her fifth, and Defender

wins its third on Boston's leaderboard with 16 points.

Total.

In net, Rookie Amanda Thiel earned her first PWHL start and win, posting a 0.913 save percentage

on 21 of 23 stops.

With star Aaron Frankel resting after her shutout records, Thielay proves she's ready

for more crease time down the stretch.

Boston tops the standings at 51 points.

The second team ever to hit 50, and the fastest to lock playoffs in league history.

They rest up over a week before hitting Vancouver on April 7th, then host Minnesota

on April 15th to close the series.
