Abigail Boreen scored her first goal of the season with 2:04 left in overtime to give Minnesota a 2-1 win over New York on Sunday.
Kelly Pannek's shot was deflected by New York goaltender Abigail Levy but Boreen — a reserve to begin the season who was activated on Wednesday — tapped in the winner.
“It was pretty awesome,” said Ken Klee, Minnesota’s coach.
Klee liked the way Minnesota played throughout the game. “I thought we moved our feet well,” he said. “We had to make some great penalty kills and that really helped keep us in the game.”

Abby Cook scored her first goal of the season with 4:13 left in the first period to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead.

As the New York defense settled in, Schofield dropped it to Cook, who scored on a wrist shot from just inside the blue line.
Ella Shelton passed to Micah Zandee-Hart at the point, who tapped it back to Shelton on the right side for a one-timer 23 seconds into the third period that made it 1-1.
