The Minnesota Whitecaps are one win away from winning their first Isobel Cup in their first season playing in the National Women's Hockey League.

Hannah Brandt scored two goals, Amanda Boulier had a goal and an assist and Amanda Leveille made 35 saves as the Whitecaps beat the defending champion Metropolitan Riveters 5-1 in the NWHL semifinals, advancing to the Isobel Cup final, where the second-seeded Buffalo Beauts await.

Sunday's championship game will be a battle between the league's top two teams.

Buffalo, which is returning to the Isobel Cup final for the fourth straight year, looks to win the title for the first time since 2017. The Beauts beat the third-seeded Boston Pride 4-0 last Saturday in one semifinal.

The other semifinal was pushed to Friday night when the Riveters were unable to travel to TRIA Rink last week due to weather.

But even with the added rest, they didn't stand much of a chance against top-seeded Minnesota, which finished the regular season 12-4.

The Whitecaps and Riveters hadn't met since October, but Minnesota swept the season series, outscoring Metropolitan 18-6 in four games.

Boulier put Minnesota on the board 3:36 into the first period when her rocket from the blue line found its way past Riveters goalie Katie Fitzgerald. The Whitecaps made it 2-0 later in the first period when Jonna Curtis weaved through the Metropolitan defense and found Katie McGovern across the crease with a wide-open net.

Brandt's wrister with 1:44 left in the second period made it 3-0, and she added an empty-netter late in the third for a 4-0 lead.

Metropolitan's Courtney Burke scored a power-play goal with 48 seconds left to end Leveille's shutout bid, but Lauren Barnes scored another empty-netter with 27 seconds left.
