Rookie Peyton Anderson helps Frost cruise to 4-1 victory over Torrent
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) --- Rookie Peyton Anderson scored her first career goal to
spark the Minnesota Frost to a 4-1 victory over the Seattle Torrent on Friday
night in the PWHL.
Minnesota (8-3-3-4) needed just 2:30 to grab the lead when Anderson used
assists from lizabeth Gigure and Claire Butorac to score. It was the first
assist this season for Gigure and the second for Butorac.
The Frost took a 2-0 lead with 2:32 remaining in the first on Abby Hustler's
third goal this season. Kendall Cooper notched her 10th assist and Grace
Zumwinkle collected her fifth.
Minnesota went up 3-0 with 4:38 remaining in the second period when Klra
Hymlrov scored for the second time this season. Britta Curl-Salemme picked up
her 11th assist and Kelly Pannek added her eighth.
Seattle (5-1-2-10) cut it to 3-1 with 8:19 remaining on a power-play goal by
Lexie Adzija. Anna Wilgren earned her fifth assist and Danielle Serdachny her
fourth on Adzija's fourth goal of the season.
Taylor Heise sent a shot into an empty net in the final minute to complete the
scoring with her fifth goal. Heise joins Alex Carpenter and Marie-Philip Poulin
as the only players in the league's first three seasons to top 20 points in
back-to-back campaigns.
The two-time defending champion Frost became the first team to beat an opponent
by three or more goals in three consecutive matches after posting a 3-0 victory
in Seattle and a 6-2 victory at home earlier this season.
Maddie Rooney finished with 28 saves in goal for the Frost.
Corinne Schroeder saved 27 shots for the Torrent in the first of five straight
games away from home for the first-year club.
The Frost had a 23-11 advantage in shots through the first 40 minutes, but the
Torrent outshot Minnesota 18-8 in the final period.
Minnesota's 20 first-period goals this season trails only the 21 of Ottawa.
Seattle has allowed 19 first-period goals, tied with New York for the most in
the league.

Seattle: At Toronto on Sunday.
Minnesota: Hosts New York on Sunday.
