The New York Riveters have scored just six goals in three games this season. Much like last season they continue to generate their best scoring chances in the transition game. But unlike last season they have speed up and down the lineup.
The Riveters’ sixth goal of the season gave them an early lead over the Boston Pride in their last game before the Four Nations Cup Break. At the time the Riveters were being badly outplayed but they had just killed a penalty. And then, unexpectedly, they broke through thanks to their speed.
Gruschow made two outstanding plays in less than two seconds to create the scoring chance for the Riveters.
