Brooke McQuigge and Michela Cava scored two goals apiece on Sunday night and the Minnesota Frost beat the Toronto Sceptres 7-5 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five semifinal series.

The Sceptres drew first blood in the best-of-five series in the opening game of the PWHL Playoffs, squeaking out a 3-2 win. In trying to avoid falling behind 2-0 for the second year in a row, the Frost came out with a little more pizzaz in Game 2 on Friday night.

The PWHL assessed Minnesota Frost forward Britta Curl-Salemme a one-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of Toronto defenseman Renata Fast in Game 1 of their semifinal playoff series.
