Title narrowly missed
Schafzahl loses final series with Boston
Theresa Schafzahl just missed out on the title in the first year of the North American women's professional ice hockey league PWHL. The 24-year-old Styrian and her club Boston were beaten 3-0 at home by Minnesota in the deciding game of the final series on Wednesday.
Minnesota crowned themselves the first PWHL champions with a 3-2 win in the "best of five" series and secured the so-called "Walter Cup".
Minnesota's Taylor Heise was voted the most valuable player of the play-offs ("MVP"). Boston fell behind in the home Tongas Center in front of 6309 spectators in Lowell/Massachusetts in the second period thanks to Liz Scherpers' first goal of the season. Schafzahl was on the ice for exactly 16 minutes, but did not concede a goal.
Three goals in 20 games
In the inaugural season of the Professional Women's Hockey League, Schafzahl scored three goals and three assists in 20 games in the basic round. In eight play-off games, the red-white-red figurehead also scored three assists.
