Despite an unreal performance by Jenny Scrivens in her debut start, the Riveters fell to the Boston Pride due to surrendering an alarming amount of high-quality chances.
The New York Riveters' 4-1 loss to the Boston Pride last Sunday was a setback for a team that seemed to be overcoming its early season woes. A few novel storylines followed the Riveters on their road trip up to the Bright-Landry Center in Boston. Among them were the debut of Jenny Scrivens due to the absence of star goaltender Nana Fujimoto, the subsequent and unprecedented call-up of Boston College goalie Corrine Boyles, and facing a Boston Pride team that had just played a game 24 hours prior to the puck drop on Sunday.
