Penalties and the transition game resulted in the Riveters falling to the star-studded Minnesota Whitecaps on Sunday afternoon at Chelsea Piers New York.
The Riveters were without Lyudmila Belyakova and Sydney Kidd for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Whitecaps and Jenny Scrivens had the night off, but their final preseason game (the regular season gets underway on the road next Sunday against the Connecticut Whale) featured the debut of Nana Fujimoto from Smile Japan. Nana Fujimoto came in for New York in the second period in what we learned after the game was her first time skating with her Riveters teammates.
