Grant-Mentis and Serdachny score 3rd-period goals, Torrent snap skid, beat
streaking Fleet 3-2
SEATTLE (AP) --- Mikyla Grant-Mentis and Danielle Serdachny scored goals in the
final six minutes of the third period, Alex Carpenter also had a goal, and the
Seattle Torrent beat the Boston Fleet 3-2 on Wednesday night to snap a
four-game losing streak.
Seattle (5-1-2-9) had lost back-to-back games following the Olympic break and
went into the game last in the PWHL with 16 points.
Boston (9-4-2-3) --- which had its six-game win streak come to an end --- leads
the league with 37 points.
Theresa Schafzahl and Susanna Tapani scored goals for the Fleet. Abbey Levy
made her second start of the season, both against the Torrent, and had 35
saves. Levy had 27 saves as the Fleet beat Seattle 3-1 on Dec. 21.
Grant-Mentis scored a short-handed goal on a jailbreak to make it 2-2 with 5:13
left in the game and Serdachny's one-timer off a pass from Natalie Snodgrass
capped the scoring with 3:46 to go.
Alina Mller, on the left side, dropped a pass to Daniela Pejsova for a
one-timer from just inside the blue line that was redirected by Schafahl over
the stick-side shoulder of goaltender Corinne Schroeder to give the Fleet a 1-0
lead with 7 1/2 minutes left in the first period.
Carpenter, on the rush after a save by Schroeder, flicked a back-hand shot into
the net with 5.6 seconds left in the first to make it 1-1.
Schroeder, who finished with 25 saves, parried a shot by Loren Gabel but
couldn't control the puck and Tapani slammed home the rebound to make it 2-1
with 8 1/2 minutes left until the third period. The Torrent had 18 shots in the
second period but went into the second intermission trailing by a goal.
