The New York Riveters made yet another splash today as they signed Princeton standout Gabie Figueroa. The 23 year old defenseman hails from Branchburg, New Jersey. She played her entire high school and collegiate career in New Jersey.
Figueroa had previously played for the Lawrenceville School, the Princeton Tiger Lilies, the New Jersey Colonials, and the Connecticut Polar Bears. She also won a silver medal in the 2009 IIHF U18 World Championships with the United states. She served as an alternate captain for Princeton in her junior year and a co-captain in her senior year.
Figueroa has spent some time as forward, but projects to play as a defenseman.
