    The Whitecaps trio of Allie Thunstrom, Katie McGovern, and Joanna Curtis all made the scoresheet.

    The only possible time that the Riveters will face the Whitecaps again is if there is a potential playoff matchup.

    Minnesota would jump out to a 3-0 lead before the Riveters would notch their first goal of the game with less than 2:30 left in the second period, as the Whitecaps were dominating the Riveters throughout the first 30 minutes of the game. The Whitecaps would also find a recipe of success in this contest by shooting and scoring.

    Four different scores for the Whitecaps would define the dominance in this contest.

    The Riveters look to bounce back from back-to-back losses on Saturday when the Riveters visit the Boston Pride at Warrior Ice Arena.

    For Minnesota, they look to extend their 4-0-0 start when they have a back-to-back slate of games next weekend when they face off against the Buffalo Beauts at TRIA Rink.
