When the Riveters took the ice at Harvard's Bright-Landry Center on Sunday night, fans were nervous. Star goaltender Nana Fujimoto and her backup, Shenae Lundberg, were out of the lineup with injuries. That left Jenny Scrivens starting in net - for the first time in six years.
Scrivens' social media presence and same-sport marriage (her husband is Ben Scrivens) have made her a fan favorite since the Riveters' debut. She stepped briefly between the pipes when Fujimoto got hurt in a 2-1 loss to the Beauts last week and blocked all four shots she faced. Still, no one really knew what might happen over three full periods against some of the league's top snipers.
