History was made in multiple ways the other night as the Boston Pride became both the first team to defend their title and the first three time champion in the league’s seven year, six championship, history.
Dempsey started the scoring off early in the game with a beautiful attack through the Whale defense. For most of the first the Pride were buzzing but couldn’t add to their total, and Connecticut finally got over the first championship jitters and started to create opportunities that showed they were the favorite in this game. Late in the first Methuen local Amanda Conway sent a puck a non threatening puck from the blue line in on Katie Burt that snuck past Burt and went in off the post and in.
