Here's the note from yesterday's (10/31/93) Star-Tribune:
 
Erin Whitten of the Toledo Storm became the first woman goaltender in
professional hockey to be credited with a victory as the Storm defeated the
Dayton Bombers 6-5 in the East Coast Hockey League.  Whitten relieved injured
Alain Harvey to start the second period with the score tied 1-1.  She made 15
saves on 19 shots in the final period.
 
(I suspect that's supposed to be "the final 2 periods")
