Boston (5-0-0-0) took the lead 5:27 into the second period when Huber used a pass from Haley Winn to score her first career goal. Winn’s assist was her third.
The Fleet grabbed a two-goal lead 4:19 later on Schepers’ first netter for Boston. Jamie Lee Rattray collected her fourth assist on the score and Megan Keller notched her third.
