The final frame would be an unmitigated disaster for the Riveters, however - though the period started with a comeback still in sight, the wheels fell off completely in the last 10 minutes of the game. This crucial power play chance for the Riveters to tie the game instead turned into the point of no return when Brianna Decker took the puck the other way for a shorthanded goal to increase the lead to 3-1. Towards the end of the second period, Boston's Marissa Gedman was penalized for tripping at her own blueline. Gabie Figueroa would score the Riveters' first regular season home goal early in the second from in tight, taking her own rebound around the net to stuff it in behind Lauren Slebodnick. The Riveters' physical style even earned them two power play chances in the first period, but they failed to capitalize on either.Īt 17:34 of the first, Brianna Decker made her presence known as the Riveters defense opened up and gave her tons of time and space to put a backhand move on Nana Fujimoto, giving the Pride a 2-0 lead. Their five-member defensive squad seemed to come together to create some quality rushes early, especially Ashley Johnston and Gabie Figueroa. Despite that, the Riveters seemed to have improved their passing game, and their zone entries seemed crisper than they had in their previous tilt. The Pride's Zoe Hickel scored less than a minute into the game. It was a strange night all around, as the game started about an hour late due to a traffic/transportation mishap for the away team, but the Riveters only have 16 games left in the regular season to address issues at both ends of the ice, and tonight was not an improvement upon last week's loss to the Connecticut Whale. Things went from bad to worse for the New York Riveters as they fell to the Boston Pride by a score of 7-1 in their home opener.
