Hammered Rivets: Derby Day!

Cinco de Mayo saw the most frantic and exciting Thorns match at Providence Park since the 2016 semi-final. Unhappily, the final result was a loss to the Reign.

It was a beautiful day, unseasonably warm. The stadium was still tot-less. The walls were decorated with some new banners.

As if the game itself was not exciting enough, there was more in store at the end. After the rose ceremony was over and the Thorns had left the pitch, Michelle Betos came over to the Riveters and climbed the stage to say hello.
