Schroeder & Downie-Landry Lead PWHL New York to Win
January 20, 2024 by Drew Johnson
Corinne Schroeder made 32 saves on 33 shots in PWHL New York’s 4-1 win over PWHL Boston on Saturday (Jan. 20). But Jade Downie-Landry was not to be outshined, netting a hat trick in the victory.
It was an impressive, all-around performance by New York. Meanwhile, Boston’s habit of slow starts haunted them. A strong third period simply wasn’t enough to overcome New York’s consistent production – and it didn’t help that Schroeder was on her A-game.

Gabel wasn’t the only player to pot two goals either, as Toronto’s Hannah Miller scored twice herself – but it simply wasn’t enough to topple Boston.
