With a 5-3 win, the Beauts handed the Metropolitan Riveters their first loss of the season and extended the Beauts' winning streak to six games.

The Riveters struck first in the game but Buffalo's Hayley Scamurra evened things up to make it a 1-1 game through one period of play.

Corrine Buie put the Beauts ahead by a goal in the 2nd period but the Riveters responded to once again tie things up heading into the break.
