Boston Pride beat Connecticut Whale in Stamford in overtime; 2 - 1

Goals

• Pride: Toni Ann Miano, Haley Skarupa
• Whale: Michelle Löwenhielm/

The Pride were without Gigi Marvin, who was injured in the team’s last game before the break. They definitely looked a bit different without her and possibly were shaking off some holiday rust. The game was laden with penalties as well, breaking up some of the flow of the game. Löwenhielm’s goal was the first her NWHL career.
