The Boston Pride defeated the resilient Buffalo Beauts 1-0 on Sunday afternoon at the Harvard Bright Hockey Center behind a brilliant performance in goal from Brittany Ott.
In a league that has so far been characterized by high and frequent scoring, today’s game was a rarity, featuring only one goal and the league’s first-ever shutout. The first period was, to everyone’s surprise…slow. The Pride had only ten shots on goal in the first 20 minutes to the Beauts’ 11, and both teams looked disorganized offensively. The Beauts were coming off a week without a game, and the Pride spent last weekend traveling to Minnesota to play a back-to-back against the Whitecaps.
