  • Riveters Bounce Back And Beat Whitecaps In OT

    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.

    Metropolitan Riveters (0-1-0 0pts) v. Minnesota Whitecaps (0-0-0 0pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    After raising their Isobel Cup Banner the Minnesota Whitecaps went right to work against the visiting Metropolitan Riveters as Jonna Curtis would throw a centering pass in front of the net, but it would deflect off of a Riveters and through the legs of goaltender Sam Walther to give the Whitecaps the 1-0 lead 49 seconds into the game. However, the Riveters would respond as Kate Leary would take advantage of a loose puck in the crease and would bank it into the net past Amanda Leveille to to tie the game at one a piece. The Riveters would not stop there as Cailey Hutchison would feed Rebecca Morse in the slot area and Morse would get the puck past a sprawling Leveille to give the Riveters the 2-1 lead, but the Whitecaps would respond as Jonna Curtis would get a bouncer past Walther to tie the game up at two a piece and her second of the game. Then on a 5 on 3 advantage for the Whitecaps Allie Thunstrom would get the puck past Walther to give the Whitecaps the 3-2 lead going into the first intermission.

     

    In the second period the Whitecaps would respond 57 seconds into the period while shorthanded as Nicole Schammel would score her first career NWHL goal to make it 4-2. Then while playing 4 on 4 Meaghan Lorence would score her first of the season off of a rebound to give the Whitecaps a 5-2 lead. Lorence would strike again, this time while shorthanded to give the Whitecaps the 6-2 lead and would end Sam Walther’s night as the Riveters head coach Ivo Mocek would have no choice but to pull Walther and put in Dana DeMartino. The Whitecaps would not slow down though while on the powerplay Jonna Curtis would net her third of the game to complete the hat trick and give the Whitecaps the 7-2 lead.

     

    In the third period Jonna Curtis would be at it again as she would tuck the puck past an already down Dana DeMartino to score her fourth goal of the game and widen the Whitecaps lead to six. Then later in the period Sydney Baldwin would score her first of the season with a beautiful rip from the faceoff circle to make it 9-2 Whitecaps. After a late rush by the Riveters the Whitecaps would hold their ground and keep the Riveters off the board to secure the 9-2 victory to open their 2019-20 season.
