The Minnesota Frost took down the Toronto Sceptres in a 7-5 thriller on Sunday night, and they're now only one win away from advancing to the Walter Cup Finals.

Minnesota took a commanding 3-0 lead less than eight minutes into the game. Lee Stecklein scored the third goal in the flurry, and it was her third of the postseason, but Toronto wasn't going away.

The Sceptres added one before the end of the first period, and added one more to open the second. Minnesota regained momentum when Brooke McQuigge found the back of the net for her second goal of the evening. Both teams added one more goal before the end of the second period, and it was 5-3 heading into the final 20 minutes.

Toronto opened the scoring in the third period, but Minnesota responded. Michela Cava scored her second goal of the night before Stecklein finished a hat trick in a thrilling 7-5 win.

Twelve total goals made it the highest-scoring game in PWHL history.

The Frost lead the best-of-five series two games to one, and they'll look to close things out in Minnesota on Wednesday night, with a trip back to the Walter Cup Finals on the line.
