With only six games remaining in the short NWHL season, Sunday afternoon's game against the Riveters was a must-win. The Pride got that memo and delivered in convincing fashion, winning 8-1 in front of the home crowd at Bright Hockey Center in Boston. The tally is the most a single team has scored in a game all season, and the offensive outburst came at just the right time.
Following last week's unexpected defeat at the hands of the Beauts, combined with the news about teammate Denna Laing's injury, it was crucial for Boston to get the win, both mentally and strategically.
