    Riveters Bounce Back And Beat Whitecaps In OT

    Today, the Riveters and the Whitecaps played their second game of their weekend series. The Riveters would look to bounce back from their 9-2 drubbing yesterday.

    The game was a much tighter affair than yesterday. There was great defensive effort from both teams. After some great back and forth action from both teams, and both goalies turning out some great saves, it would take till about a little over the 14 minute mark to get the games first goal. The goal came from the former Riveter, Audra Richards, who nabbed her first goal of the season. Assist on the play coming from Lauren Barnes.

    The lead would be short though as two minutes later, the Riveters would answer. The goal coming off the rush, a great pass coming from Mallory Rushton across the offensive zone. It would be Kendall Cornine who would slot home the shot past Leveille.

    That would be how the period would end with a 1-1 tie. Penalties in the period would be three for the Whitecaps and one for the Riveters. However, neither team would be able to take advantage of that. The Whitecaps also out-shot the Riveters 11-7 in the period.

    In the second period, the Riveters would come out strong again, looking to capitalize on the late goal they scored. They would be rewarded for their momentum by scoring a little over halfway through the second period. The goal would be scored by the Riveters heart and soul of the team, Madison Packer. No assists came from the play.

    The Riveters would keep the lead for a brief time as three minutes later, the Whitecaps would answer back. The goal coming from Amanda Boulier; who came off a great season last year, and is continuing her good play. The assist on the play coming from Allie Thunstrom.

    The period would end with both teams again tied, 2-2. The only penalty in the period came from the Riveters, and the Whitecaps could not take advantage of it. However, the Whitecaps did again out-shoot the Riveters 17-10 in the period.

    In the third period, there was pretty even match-up between both teams, however it would be the Riveters who would strike first blood in the period. The goal came from Kendall Cornine again, it would be her second of the game and it came on the power play.

    The Whitecaps would pour on some more pressure to get the game tied, however the Riveters defense played well and staved off any offensive chances. It would be another 14 minutes before we would get the games next goal. (Yes, both goalies were playing that great.) It would be the Whitecaps who would eventually tie the game up. The goal coming from Allie Thunstrom, who slotted home the goal past Walther’s five hole.

    The late goal would push the game to overtime, and in the extra session, it would only take 35 seconds. A great shot from the circle by Rebecca Morse would elude Leveille’s glove and would give the Riveters the overtime win.

    The Riveters won’t be playing next weekend as they have a bye. The next game for the Whitecaps will be against the Boston Pride on October 19 at 630p in Boston.

    NWHL Game Recap – 10/5/2019 – Boston Pride v. Metropolitan Riveters

    Boston Pride (0-0-0 0pts) v. Metropolitan Riveters (0-0-0 0pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    The Metropolitan Riveters kick off their 2019-20 NWHL season as they host the Boston Pride in their home opener. The Riveters would start out by getting a few shots, but nothing difficult for rookie goaltender Lovisa Selander. Then Cassie Dunne would be called for tripping to give the Pride their first powerplay opportunity, and while they would not score, the Pride would use it to turn the tide and put the momentum on their side. The Pride would take it to the Riveters but Sam Walther was up to the task. However, late in the first period Jillian Dempsey would get one past Walther to give the Pride a late 1-0 lead to go into the first intermission with.

     

    In the second period the Riveters would play with some more hustle in their game, and it would almost pay off early in the period as Bulbul Kartanbay would almost get the puck past Selander but a little puck luck was on the goalie’s side. However, that would not deter the Riveters as Kendall Cornine would score moments later to tie the game at one a piece. The Pride would force another penalty against the Riveters, but would be unsuccessful for a third consecutive time.

     

    In the third period it would be a penalty filled affair as the Riveters would have two 5 on 3 powerplay opportunities while the Pride would only have one of their own. The Riveters would convert on the back end of their first two woman advantage as Madison Packer would tip in a Colleen Murphy point blast to take the 2-1 lead. However, the Riveters would begin to falter and the Pride would pounce as they would get goals from Tori Sullivan, Dempsey (her second of the game), and McKenna Brand to lead the Pride to a 4-2 victory to start their season.
